Signed first US printing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChef Fergus Henderson (1963– ), at his landmark London restaurant \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenartsandletters.com\/products\/book-of-st-john-the\"\u003eSt. John\u003c\/a\u003e, is one of the major creative forces in the food world. In the early 1990s he introduced an imaginative, energetic style of cooking that owed more to the very best home kitchens than it did to cheffy tradition. The cooking is bolder than it is refined, most notably in its use of the variety meats, or offal—tripe, spleen, hearts, kidneys, brains, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenderson’s sorrel, chicory, and crispy ear salad—an accompaniment for a meal of pig’s head and trotters—is typical, based on country food but, through his ingenuity, given a new personality. Quickly following publication of his first book in 1999, \u003cem\u003eNose to Tail Eating\u003c\/em\u003e, chefs on both sides of the Atlantic flocked to eat at his restaurant and to experiment with his ideas. He almost single-handedly brought about a turn-of-the-21st century culinary revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was an instant cult classic, often difficult to find as cooks and chefs hoarded their copies.
