Easy: 100 delicious dishes for every day. Bill Granger

      FOR NATALIE, EDIE, INÈS, BUNNY and anyone who has ever tried to get a good meal on the table after 6pm… It’s been an enormous year. I’ve completed this book, opened a restaurant in London and one in central Tokyo, taken on a weekly column in the Independent on Sunday, ‘The New Review’, as well as my regular writing for various magazines. I’ve had a daughter start a new school and we’ve acquired a very big black Labrador called Skippy. There’s a passionate team of very loyal people helping me get all this done so that I can still get dinner on the table each night for my family. So an enormous thank you firstly to Lou D, who has joined me this year and has helped organise me and my work – no mean feat; Erika and Mikkel, you make me feel calm and reassured, and your combined vision and energy fuels the furnace for all of us, even on this my 10th book; Glenda for polishing and enhancing my words; Jane Price for her sense of humour and insight, even into my own condition; Victoria for her organisation, experience and support; my book food team Lou M, Nick and Rosie – where would I be without your commitment, wealth of knowledge and attention to detail? These days I’d rather a new plate to a new shirt, so thank you to Geraldine and the fortynine for working together to produce such unique and beautiful ceramic pieces; Klint for being everything to everyone and an appreciative taste tester; Paul Aikman for his eye for colour and taking our images that extra 10 per cent; Antony for his sensible and sensitive guidance; Lizzy for her confidence and enthusiasm; Sylvia, who is always there for us; Natalie for being my partner in crime, and finally, to my family, who show me the exquisite joy that cooking and looking after others can bring.
