Description
Brian Turner's good-humoured Yorkshire directness underpins this cook's tour of his life, as he retraces his steps along the culinary route that has taken him from his northern roots to the chairmanship of the Academy of Culinary Arts. In 1986 he opened Turner's in Walton Street - a far cry from his home town Morley and working in his father's transport cafe! Rich in anecdote and insight, the autobiographical text is complemented by over fifty recipes that both give a flavour of their era and occupy a special place in his own personal hall of fame. Witty, poignant, revelatory, salivatory, A YORKSHIRE LAD represents a slice of the history of British cooking and no one interested in food will be able to resist it.
