Hot Brands Verdict

This evocative book celebrates everything that it is wonderful about the traditions of The Wolseley. A.A. Gill gives us a fascinating insight behind the scenes at its history, how the staff create the ambiance, the recipes, the way they are created, the people who visit, and how to recreate the food. It conjures up fond memories of the meals, the service and of being welcomed into one of our favourite places to eat in London.

In addition, with beautiful photography, there are over 30 delicious recipes divided into different breakfast styles, each of the chapters presents the dishes as they are served in the restaurant, followed by step by step instructions on how to poach, fry, scramble and boil a perfect egg, and how to make other combination dishes, such as Omelette Arnold Bennett, Smoked Haddock Fish Cakes, or the most delicious croissants, brioches and other pastries. There is also a section on how to enjoy, tea, coffee and hot chocolate at its very best.

A.A Gill has created a stunning book about an iconic restaurant, but more than that it describes how to create the most perfect breakfast whatever your preference. If you have never been to The Wolseley it will make you want to go, if you have already visited, it will make you want to go again, and if you just want to cook yourself breakfast Wolseley style, this book is a great place to start, we absolutely loved it !!
