Description
Tom Sellers is a luminary of the British culinary scene. His Restaurant Story opened its doors in April 2013; its innovative literary-inspired menu, taking diners on 'a personal journey through food', has won him huge critical and public acclaim. Story was awarded its first Michelin star just five months after opening.
This stunning book will be your chance to enter the visionary mind of one of the most original chefs of our time, and discover the truth behind the tales of his brilliant food.
Advance Praise
In many ways, a book by Tom Sellers was inevitable. After all, this is the chef
whose first ventures were called Foreword and Preface, and whose literary
inspired Restaurant Story captured its guests' imaginations. What nobody
foresaw, however, was how Sellers' first cookbook would upturn conventions. That
said, given his predilection for originality, it should have been obvious.
A Kind Of Love Story is a romance, right down to its gothic,
rose-embossed binding, tracing one man's passion from its childhood kernel to
Michelin starred maturity, which Sellers reached at 26. It contains no recipes
in the traditional sense. Instead, Sellers lets the reader in on something much
more intimate, interweaving diary-like vignettes with the science of his
methods.
With the touching tales behind his most memorable dishes adding
warmth and authenticity, this is the work of a true storyteller for whom writing
about food signals the start of a new and exciting chapter.
GQ, December 2016
You may question a chef that writes a cookbook with no recipes and very few pictures as to why and what's the point ... but with Tom Sellers you get the delights, insights, the raw edge of a romance and love affair all rolled into one.
Truth and insight is hard to write down on paper let alone letting people read your inner self and feelings that are laid bare. It's a passion & fast life of a chef that leaves no stone unturned as he was taught to....
It's a beauty, reading it made the hairs tingle on the back of my neck. Reliving those times again makes me smile with pride... as I said back then boys were made into men...
