Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘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.

This is Jack’s pre-publication edition given to Jack at the book’s British launch.

A collection of the traditional recipes of Nice, dating from the time when it was an independent country and the period when it belonged to the House of Savoy, before its accession to France.

First pre-publication edition. Nice has been part of France only since 1860 – so it is not surprising that its cuisine has no particular affinity with the traditions of French cuisine. The Nicois cook believes in simplicity, not disguise, eschews rich sauces, nourishes a penchant for fish, fruit and vegetables and appreciates the importance of careful, subtle seasoning. The author, and mayor of Nice, offers an enthusiastic guide to the cuisine of his city. As well as explaining how to make genuine salad nicoise (the most betrayed of Nicois dishes), he lures the reader into the world of stockfish, tians, panisses, socca, rabbit with fruit in aspic, stewed pork with capers and gherkins, ganses and Christmas bread.
