With his hallmark joyous abandon, British-born chef Graham Kerr was a pioneer of food television, hosting the popular series The Galloping Gourmet from 1969 to 1971. A bible for generations of fans, this classic cookbook is reissued with new commentary from Kerr, who updates the recipes for contemporary tastes. The encyclopedic variety of recipes—ranging from the basics of brewing coffee and deep excursions into egg cookery, to more sophisticated preparations of fish and poultry—combined with Kerr's devotion to technique, ingredients, and presentation open up new possibilities for today's home cook.
