Now I get to share those recipes with you.’

Jay has a way with words, but he’s also a dab hand in the kitchen. This book is not just a collection of food memories but also of recipes that make you want to roll up your sleeves and start cooking

A fantastic collection of heart warming, full-flavoured recipes from one of Britain’s leading food writers. ... Read moreEach recipe is beautifully put together and the stories that go with them are wonderfully written. A must buy for anyone who loves food, restaurants and cooking
Tom Kerridge
I can say without hesitation, having known and eaten with Jay for many many years, that he is the undisputed egalitarian king of finding the most delicious things wherever he goes. He elicits the same amount of delight from great food whether it is on the high road or the high table. This book allows him to share with us the pure joy that he takes in discovery, and of course with Jay as our guide it’s a particularly witty mouth tingling taste adventure! Sheer brilliance.

Some recipes are speculative recreations (including of a Greggs steak bake), some assisted by the chefs, some a Frankensteining together of great dishes
FT – Best books of 2024: Food, drink and travel
Nights Out At Home is written with obvious love for the restaurant world and those who inhabit it, and a warm enthusiasm to share that with the reader.This book would make a seriously good cookbook without the stories, and a brilliantly written, engaging read without the recipes; that we get both makes it essential for anyone who’s into the wider pleasures of food.
