Jack founded the Midsummer House, Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam.

Hardcover, 159 pages in good condition. Cradled between the Vosges and the Rhine and squeezed for centuries between two great European powers, Alsace is one of the best kept secrets in France- a land of paradoxes, intriguing and unique. Definitely part of France ( yet somehow not quite French), certainly not part of Germany ( yet somehow rather Germanic), Alsace combines the best of both worlds. Describing with rare insight and wry humor the people, the food, and the wines. Filled with recipes from the region’s most talented chefs, bakers, and cheesemakers. Beautiful color photos of the area’s scenery and the tempting food.
