David Everitt-Matthias favours a bold style of cooking, with strongly flavoured - and often brightly coloured - ingredients cooked with confidence and flair.

Whether you're looking for a simple treat or a dinner party challenge, there are plenty of recipes to choose from in this collection. His easy Salted caramel and peanut truffle recipe would make ideal gifts, while his starter of Native lobster with carrot purée and buttermilk is as technically dazzling as it is visually appealing.
