โAt Cafรฉ Cecilia you will find some of the absolute best cooking in London, and I'm greedily grateful for this little gem of a book.โ โ Nigella Lawson โProducing "honest" food is something I think about a lot. It's food that doesn't follow trends or fashions, that doesn't show off, that comes from the core of the cook. The food, the dining room and the way things are run at Cafรฉ Cecilia is honest. They are from the soul of Max Rocha.โ โ Diana Henry The debut cookbook from rising star Irish chef Max Rocha and his hugely popular East London restaurant, Cafรฉ Cecilia Cafรฉ Cecilia is a beloved neighborhood restaurant serving simple Irish and European inspired food, that has become not only a foodie haven, but a huge hit with the international art and fashion crowd. It is chef Max Rochaโs first restaurant, and he takes inspiration from whatโs in season; the cooking of his mother, Odette; and the food he grew up with in Ireland. Cafรฉ Cecilia Cookbook , the first and only book on this, one of the UK's most exciting and popular restaurants, features 100 recipes from breakfast through to dinner. Dishes include signature dishes like Guinness Bread and Sage & Anchovy Fritti and seasonal dishes such as Poached greengage, granola and yogurt and Globe Artichokes with Sunflower Seed Tahini, with recipes for a host of soups, salads, breads, cakes, and kombuchas, as well as a selection of fish, meat, and vegetable dishes. With a foreword written by acclaimed British food writer and James Beard Award-winner Diana Henry, and images of the finished dishes shot within the stylish setting of Cafรฉ Cecilia by Matthieu Lavanchy, together with photographs of the team and restaurant's suppliers by Jacob Lillis, this is a warm celebration of food, family, the loyal Cafรฉ Cecilia team and all Max Rochaโs experiences.

To many recipes using the same ingredients!!
Definitely not worth the price tag. The plating and choice of dishes are boring . Very disappointed with this cookbook!!

Meh
If you've been to the restaurant, this would most likely be a wonderful souvenir. As a stand alone cookbook though, it's not really what I was hoping for. As per all Phaidon books, the photography is stunning, but for me it ends there. The text layout is almost like a university essay written in a 16-point font. I love it when there is a preamble to the recipes, which this book does not provide. Speaking of the recipes, there are few if any besides the Guinness bread that grabbed my attention. I would purchase any of Fergus Henderson's books or The Irish Cookbook by JP McMahon (also published by Phaidon) ahead of this one.
