Alan Murchison is known for his artful precision in preparing and plating his food, along with an emphasis on texture and colour, as well as flavour.

While some of the stunning dishes in this collection may seem daunting, there are, in fact, several simple recipes made infinitely sophisticated through their careful presentation. His Lamb rump with wild garlic and pea purée is an easy and colourful main dish, while his White chocolate panna cotta recipe makes a stunning summery dessert.
