Formerly head chef for Gordon Ramsay at a number of restaurants across his empire, Marcus Wareing now runs a string of his own successful restaurants, each serving up what the chef himself defines as 'Marcus cuisine'.

His recipes marry the classic with the contemporary, and there are several within this collection that will evoke more than a little nostalgia - traditional Coconut ice, for example, or Manchester tart, a nod to his northern upbringing. Marcus Wareing is also known for his appearance on Great British Menu where his dessert was served to the Queen; why not give your guests the royal treatment and try his winning Custard tart recipe for yourself?
