'I want to emphasise that this cookbook is not just about food; it's also about the joy of cooking. Cooking is a creative process that allows you to express yourself and experiment with different flavours and ingredients. It's a way to connect with your family and friends and create memories that will last a lifetime. I hope the recipes in this cookbook will inspire you to explore your own creativity in the kitchen and discover the joy of cooking.'

In his eagerly awaited new recipe collection, David Herbert builds on the tradition of his iconic Perfect cookbooks. This ultimate kitchen-shelf go-to reference for the home cook features chapters on salads; soups; eggs and breakfast dishes; pasta, rice, polenta and grains; vegetable dishes; seafood; chicken; lamb; veal, pork and beef; savoury baking; sweet baking; desserts; and basics. Filled with over 300 bloody delicious, easy-to-follow recipes that are not only failsafe but also fun to cook, Even More Perfect Cooking includes updated versions of much-loved favourites, as well as new dishes that are destined to become high-rotation classics.

'David's recipes are always so accessible, so driven by flavour - and they are written with every detail needed to make cooking an absolute joy.' MAGGIE BEER
