Re: Kew’s belated joining of the global cookbook bandwagon
Hang on, isn’t this the book that a recent article in the (UK) Telegraph Magazine was based on, featuring a garlic recipe from some chap called Jeremy Chefas? Or do you have a vampire repelling namesake? Or am I just confused?
If it is, I know nothing about it. And I cannot find an article in the Telegraph. So I cannot really comment further.
Of course, if they reprinted stuff I wrote when I was editor of the Friends of Kew magazine, it might have been nice of them to let me know.
Ah, I didn’t know you used to work at Kew. That’s explains it.
This is the article…
Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic.
It does sound rather nice, though perhaps my colleagues wouldn’t welcome me back to the office on Monday!
