Simon joined the team as Head Chef at the Rockley Pub earlier this year. I knew straight away he was the perfect fit. His background, knowledge and incredible food repertoire sets him apart. This book showcases just how talented he is. – Matt Moran, Chef and Restauranteur
Simon reminds me of why I am in this business – his passion and creativity are infectious and he is truly an emerging talent to watch into the future. – Stephen Manly, General Manager, Rockley Pub
HEAT is built around Simon Borghesi’s life as a chef, interwoven with stories from his background, travels and training, including under the renowned open-fire chef, Francis Mallmann.
Many of the recipes within make use of age-old techniques that bring the alchemy of food into effect. The spell is cast during the preparation, after which the food is left on its own to ‘do its thing’. In much cooking practice today there is a focus on methods and techniques, less so on the spaces in between – but that is where the magic lies.
