.Finally my copy of ’The Racine Effect” by Henry Harris has arrived which has been long awaited. I have admired this chap for many years. I absolutely love his food. It is the food that I want to eat. He cooks with so much love and flavour, something a lot don’t do. His ability to keep to the classics and produce excellent dishes time and again amazes me. It is in essence so simple, but so difficult to do. His restaurant at Farringdon is wonderful. I have only eaten there once, but it was memorable and one of those places you wish you lived close to. Someone said some years ago, “if there is a heaven then I want Mark Hix to be cooking in the canteen” I would like to see Henry Harris cooking alongside him. Please buy this book and go and eat at his restaurant, if you can get a table, because it is full of chefs eating there on their day off.
