“Homemade biscuits represent a genuine act of care. To me, they are the essence of hospitality without the loudness of putting on a big, grandiose supper. I’ve been cooking and baking all sorts of things for years now, be it when I had my restaurant, for cookery demonstrations in my studio, at pop-ups and supperclubs, for my main series of cookbooks, or even just day-to-day for my friends and family. Yet nothing quite gets the reaction that a tray of homemade millionaire’s shortbread does. Biscuits make people happy, and I’m here for it.”

The first in a new series of mini cookbooks published by Elliott’s.
