Women Chefs of New York is a colourful showcase of twenty-five leading female culinary talents in the restaurant capital of the world, including Jean Adamson and British-born April Bloomfield, who have both previously worked at The River Cafe in London.

In a fiercely competitive, male-dominated field, these women have risen to the top, and their stories – and their recipes – make it abundantly clear why. Food writer Nadia Arumugam braves the sharp knives and the sputtering pans of oil for intimate interviews, revealing the chefs’ habits, quirks, food likes, and dislikes, their proudest achievements, and their aspirations. Each chef contributes four signature recipes to recreate the experience of a meal from their celebrated kitchens. This gorgeous full-colour cookbook includes portraits of these inspiring women, inviting interior shots of their restaurants, and mouth-watering pictures of the featured dishes, styled by the chefs themselves – all captured by celebrated food photographer Alice Gao.

Women Chefs of New York features all-stars such as Amanda Freitag, Jody Williams, April Bloomfield (The Spotted Pig, The Breslin), Gabrielle Hamilton (Prune), Christina Tosi (Momofuku Milk Bar), and Alex Raij (La Vara, Txikito, El Quinto) as well as up-and-coming players like Zahra Tangorra (Brucie), Ann Redding (Uncle Boons), and Sawako Ockochi (Shalom Japan). It’s the ultimate gift for any cook or foodie interested in the food that’s dazzling discerning palates in NYC now.

The Seahorse on the mouth of the River Dart champions some of the best fish and shellfish in the world from the nearby landing site and is a favourite haunt of the foodie establishment. Co-owned by seafood hero Mitch Tonks and Mat Prowse, the menu is a seafood lover’s tour of Europe’s great fish dishes and cooking over a charcoal fire is the restaurant’s specialty. The food’s simplicity is deceptive as it is refreshing, focusing on the catch of the day rather than fancy presentation. Cherished by critics, foodies and locals, The Seahorse is a rare and beautiful gem in Britain’s sea of restaurants, championed ‘Best Seafood Restaurant in the UK 2013’ by the Good Food Guide and ‘Best UK Restaurant 2012’ by Observer Food Monthly.

The Seahorse is a beacon of seafood brilliance – showcasing over 100 delectable dishes served at the shore-side eatery, and capturing pearls of advice from the fish experts themselves.

“The Seahorse… is perfect. Our dinner there was the best meal that I have had all year.”
