Alastair Hendy, style guru and former "Sunday Times" cook, illuminates the comfort food we love to eat at home with this cookery "bible". From fry-ups and spag bol, to exotic sticky ginger chicken and treacle pudding, he conjures up memorable flavours and gives them a sophisticated twist. Relive the eggy bread, thick custard and Sunday roasts of your childhood. Perfect your own Christmas dinner and, if you're feeling adventurous, invent the next trend on toast.
