Beyond Essence is the third book from David Everitt-Matthias and shows a marked evolution in his food, a cuisine seven years on from the recipes which made up David's first book, 'Essence'. In these recipes, he has drawn inspiration from around the world, showcasing an even greater understanding and sensitivity towards new ingredients and techniques, yet always pairing them perfectly with classic traditions. Beyond Essence is a joyous collection of innovative and exciting recipes, each demonstrating a craft of incredible skill and precision. These recipes will inspire keen amateur cooks and professionals alike. It is a book which confirms the talents of a remarkable artist and a natural and generous teacher, and which will further enhance the reputation of one of the world's truly great chefs. A double-award-winning author, Beyond Essence is David's third book.

A third book from the two-Michelin star chef and award-winning author, David Everitt-Matthia - one of the major restaurant book releases of 2012.

I tend to see David as very much Britain's equivalent of the great three-Michelin-star French chef, Pierre Koffmann, a culinary genius of similar conviction and focus.
