‘For the past twenty-five years, I have been reviewing restaurants across Britain and beyond, from the humblest of diners to the grandest of gastro-palaces. And throughout I’ve been taking the best ideas home with me to create glorious dishes for my own table.

Now I get to share those recipes with you.’

With 60 recipes that take their inspiration from restaurants dishes served across the UK and further afield, Nights Out at Home includes a cheat’s version of :

The Ivy’s famed crispy duck salad The brown butter and sage flatbreads from Manchester’s Erst The cult tandoori lamb chops from London’s Tayyabs - a recipe which has never been written down before! Jay’s own personal take on the mighty Greggs Steak Bake
Seasoned with stories from Jay’s life as a restaurant critic, and written with warmth, wit and the blessing, and often help, of the chefs themselves, Nights Out at Home is a celebration of good food, great eating experiences, and home cooking – with a twist!
