Thanks
Right, let’s kick this off… as it’s a family book, none of this would be possible without the huge support I get from my own family. Beth, you’re just amazing. Thank you for putting little man to bed and getting him up when I’m not there, because I’m too busy doing stuff like this! Acey, you’re just the greatest thing ever! I’m so pleased that you like just a little bit of this food before you decide to spit it out and would rather have chippies. You guys really are the best and are the whole point in doing all of this. Waiting in the wings as the pit crew, Suze and Katie, thank you so much for being ever reliable.
Huge shout out to Alex Longstaff, yet again you’ve helped me focus (a little bit, as I’m right now staring out of the window watching a flash car go by, but you know what, you do try your best!). Your help is invaluable and thank you for your patience.
To everybody at Absolute and Bloomsbury – Nigel Newton, Jon Croft, Xa Shaw Stewart, Richard Atkinson, Natalie Bellos, Amanda Shipp, Jen Hampson, Ellen Williams, Becky Anderson and Marina Asenjo – thank you guys so much for making, printing, publishing, trusting and believing in another brilliant book that gets people off their bums and into the kitchen cooking. Your ongoing support is so valuable and hugely appreciated. Can’t wait to see where we decide to go for lunch this year, Nigel!
To the Marlow pirates. Everybody at The Hand and Flowers, The Coach and The Butcher’s Tap. You guys keep those pirate ships steady while I’m trying to navigate! Love you guys so much, I’m so proud of all of you. Such exceptional work with constant high standards, love you all very, very much.
For those pirate ship deserters who have found their way to the big smoke – what an incredibly exciting year! You guys really are smashing it with an amazing project. Keep driving forward, Kerridge’s Bar & Grill crew!
To Janet Illsley for skilfully editing all the words so they fit the pages, and to designer David Eldridge at Two Associates for making the pages ping and look absolutely stunning, thank you so much. It really is a joy working with you guys.
Recipe testing and helping find the right words to say – Laura Herring, thank you so much for not making my mouth say daft things! Or even if it did, making it sound better than the actual words! Jenna Leiter and Esther Clark, I hope you enjoyed eating plenty of those tested recipes! Thank you Jen Hopley and Dr Rachel Allen for recipe analysis and nutritional consultancy – you’ve both been amazing.
Thank you so much to Georgia Glynn Smith for the use of your beautiful house to help this book feel real. It’s an amazing family home you have and we were all so very pleased to spend time in it.
Massive shout out and thank you to the guys who really do sit on the front line of this book and create the content. Food styling – Chris Mackett, Holly Cochrane, Rosie Mackean and Alice Ostan. You guys worked tirelessly, constantly creating beautiful food! And of course, a massive thank you, heartfelt love, hugs, fist bumps and high fives to you, Nicole Herft. You are just such a vibrant, massive lover of food and life and your energy levels are infectious. You bring so much to this book and to my life, and we love you dearly. Thank you so much.
Huge thank you once again to the brilliant art director Lydia McPherson for styling, creating and driving forward this great bit of photography, which you should be so proud of, because I certainly am!
I’ve always thought that a book isn’t a book without pictures in it, which is where the immensely talented, ever-dependable and super-lovely Cristian Barnett comes in. Thank you so much once again for capturing every moment at the right time. Energy, heart and soul and a sense of place show through on these pages. Chief, you are the greatest. And behind every great man, there needs to a super trusty sidekick – Bríd Ní Luasaigh, thank you for helping make Cristian look so good, ha ha!
To the whole team at Bone Soup, who helped take people on their journey by encouraging them to cook, and helped to choose recipes that are not only inspirational but also achievable. Most importantly, you’ve created and delivered a brilliant television show. Massive thank you to Richard Bowron, Sarah Myland, Hannah Corneck, Georgia Mills, Sophie Wells, Richard Hill, Jack Coathupe, Robbie Johnson, Nick Murray, Tom Berrow, Dan Berrow, Joanna Boyle, Susie Millns, Dominic Fearon, Lucy Kattenhorn, Chris Mallett, Chris White, Lizzie Minnion, Richard Lambert and Tony Osborne.
A big thank you to the BBC, David Brindley and Michael Jochnowitz for once again believing in us and letting a bloke with a bumpkin accent appear on the telly!
To the two guiding lights who keep an eye on the daft things that I say and make sure I do nothing too untoward – Borra Garson and Gemma Bell, thank you so much for your support. I think we’ve had a pretty good year – I haven’t done anything too stupid!
Lastly, to all the brilliant families who have taken part in the show: I’m so proud of all of you for changing the way that you look at, buy and eat food. The difference you made is an inspiration to everybody who is going to be buying and reading this book. Thank you all very, very much!
