DUCKSOUP COOKBOOK
In the heart of London’s Soho is Ducksoup, a tiny neighbourhood restaurant where you can eat simple plates of exactly what you might want at any time of day.
This book is packed with delicious favourites from the menu whose influences include the warm blue skies of Italy, spices and flower blossom of the Middle East, and the smoky earthiness of Scandinavia. These recipes have a common thread: simple details – a squeeze of burnt lemon, a toasting of nuts, or a spoonful of piquant green sauce – which elevate flash-in-the-pan plates and slowly-stirred pots alike into something special.
This pared-back approach to food is simple and achievable, and will transform your everyday cooking.

According to Google books: "Sometimes a book .. that speaks with such simplicity, wisdom, and surprise, that it inspires home cooks to rethink their approach to cooking." Totally agree.

A cookbook related with the menu of some restaurant. Weird combination, mostly around and about the Mediterranean area.

Beautiful, delicious, easy cookbook that you’d want to have in your kitchen. Even if you are not a cook. Aesthetically good looking book with recipes that easy to make because, thank you, they don’t require million hard to pronounce ingredients 😂

Visited the restaurant on Friday night, ordered the cookbook the next day! Absolutely exquisite book with excellent simple recipes, celebrating food and ingredients. The author's background in publishing shows, this is a cookbook where everything has been thought about and it strikes the perfect balance between great writing, lovely photos and food you want to eat RIGHT NOW. This is passionate and unpretentious writing and cooking, and no foodie or cookbook lover will be disappointed. Recommended!!!
