Paul commented: “This cookbook includes some of my favourite recipes from the past 18 years. It also pays homage to the amazing people who have supported and shaped me as a chef, from my wonderful parents and tutors to the late-great Gary Rhodes, Marcus Wareing, and Gordon Ramsay who continues to share his friendship and guidance today. Throughout the book I have shared my journey as a chef and the stories behind each dish. This cookbook is designed to be used daily, for all occasions, by cooks of all levels. I hope the recipes will inspire you and show you how to take your cooking to the next level!”
