One: A Cook and Her Cupboard

Florence Knight is head chef at Soho´s coolest restaurant, Polpetto. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients, Florence cooks imaginative, Italian-inspired food that everyone loves to eat. Now, for her first cook book, she has turned her attention to the kitchen store-cupboard, challenging herself to create stunning, simple dishes from her favourite everyday ingredients. ´Cooking is really about peeling things back to their most basic. There´s one core ingredient behind every great dish and it´s normally something really simple like salt, chocolate, or olive oil. Building a dish from that point of view is what I´m about. It´s what inspires me to create new and exciting food...´ Each recipe in One will inspire you to think again about the everyday essentials in your pantry, and to learn the chef´s art of simple cooking.
