Win a signed copy of the new book from Nathan Outlaw

Recently awarded two coveted Michelin stars for his eponymous fish restaurant in Rock, Cornwall, Nathan Outlaw

is one of the most exciting upcoming chefs in Britain today. British seafood is his passion. His style of cooking is unique and simple, allowing the individual flavours of the ingredients to shine through. Sourcing sustainable fish and local produce in season, he uses his considerable flair to take simple fish cooking to new heights.

In Nathan Outlaw’s British Seafood

Nathan shares the secrets of his unique approach and provides a tempting collection of original recipes. Beginning with a guide to sourcing and buying, followed by a step-by-step guide to preparing all types of fish and shellfish, he then explains cooking techniques, showing how to pan-fry, grill, bake, steam, barbecue and deep-fry fish to perfection, avoiding the pitfalls of overcooking.

The core of the book is divided into the four main groups: flat, round, oily and shell fish, and within this structure 30 fish

are dealt with individually. The descriptive text for each tells you the optimum size to buy and eat, the best cooking methods and which herbs, seasonings and sauces go with each fish, allowing you to create a dish quickly and simply. Then, for each fish, Nathan gives 2-3 recipes, ranging from everyday quick dishes he cooks at home, through recipes for leisurely lunches or dinners with family or friends, to signature dishes from his restaurant – the sort you might cook for a dinner party.

In all there are over 100 recipes, all easy to replicate at home. Photographed on location in Cornwall,

this superb new fish bible also has a real sense of place.

We’ve got five signed copies of Nathan’s book to give away, all you have to do is follow both Nathan and us on twitter before 13h on Friday July 6th!

Stevie Parle - recipes from the Dock Kitchen Cookbook

Stevie Parle burst onto the London scene in 2009 with the launch of a new restaurant, Dock Kitchen, whose food AA Gill described as ‘faultless’, earning him the Observer Food Monthly Young Chef of the Year award 2010. The opposite of the usual ‘chefy’ restaurant fare, Stevie serves an eclectic mix of dishes that in their countries of origin would all be described as home cooking. Ranging from Mexico to Morocco, from Catalonia to Kerala, taking in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, here are simple, wholesome and perfectly balanced recipes for dishes that will warm the heart in winter and cool the palate in summer. Arranged seasonally, rustic soups are followed by little plates to share as appetizers or starters, then robust main dishes featuring the cheaper cuts of fish, poultry and meat as well as an abundance of seasonal vegetables. Each season contains a feature on little toasts to share, each has a ragout of seasonal vegetables and each boasts a thoran - a simple spicy seasonal vegetable dish from southern India. The desserts section includes no fewer than 11 superb ice creams; a chapter on ‘new basics’ (spice mixes, pickles and breads) completes the book. Below are a selection of recipes from the book which Stevie has filmed. Simply click on each recipe image to watch the film!
