  • The Cream of the Culinary World Unite to Make a Difference Submitted By: Accent Press Monday, 23 May 2005
    The Cream of the Culinary World Unite To Make A Difference Submitted by: Accent Press Monday, 23 May 2005 Accent Press Ltd are delighted to announce the publication of East meets West EAST MEETS WEST is a celebrity cookbook in support of the tsunami victims in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Featuring recipes by the cream of the international culinary world and articles by top wine writers including; Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Gary Rhodes, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Keith Floyd, Ainsley Harriot, Rick Stein, Antony Worral Thompson, Ken Hom and Jancis Robinson. EAST MEETS WEST developed from the reaction of two ordinary British women, Barbara Jayson and Jenny de Montfort to the shocking Boxing Day disaster. Having met several years ago in Indonesia they knew they had to do something and decided to create a truly international cookbook to raise funds for mother and baby charities in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Without knowing a single celebrity chef they set about contacting potential contributors and, having received a commitment from Nigella Lawson, the project snowballed. The book is a superb quality, full-colour, 256 page hardback priced £14.99, fully illustrated throughout and is sure to be the biggest cookbook of 2005. Over 9,000 copies have been sold in the first week with a third of these going to overseas distributors. Within a day of publication an enquiry for 15,000 copies was received from one of the main UK book clubs. All main High Street retailers are stocking the book which is also available via Amazon. EAST MEETS WEST is published by Accent Press, an independent publishing company based in Wales.

Reaching such a milestone is an accomplishment in any industry, but even more so when you consider that Philip Howard had only three years’ experience when he was made head chef and that the restaurant has retained two Michelin stars since 1998. It’s an achievement that countless chefs would love to emulate, though it wasn’t always plain sailing for the chef. Howard, who battled a cocaine addic- tion during the Square’s infancy, is the first to admit that it has been years of hard work, sacrifices and ups and downs. “But on the other hand, it has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams. I might have had some shit days, but I’ve never had a boring day,” he says. With a larger-than-most dining room, the Square, in its current home [it relocated from St James’s in 1996] boasts a lively atmosphere that eschews any pretensions to be a hushed temple of gastronomy.
