Dinner Deconstructed

Do you recognise these ingredients? 35 recipes as you’ve never seen them before.

A gorgeous gift book as well as a cookery title, Dinner Deconstructed features 35 recipes as you’ve never seen them before, broken down into their individual ingredients and photographed in stylish still-life arrangements. Serried rows of vegetables and small heaps of flour turn into a comforting cauliflower bake, the ingredients of steak bernaise boil down to meat, peppercorns, eggs, butter and herbs, and key lime pie looks mesmerising before the ingredients are magically melded together in the kitchen.

And after you’ve feasted your eyes on the dishes in their natural and aesthetically pleasing state, simply turn to the back of the book to get the recipes themselves, so you can turn the raw ingredients into the delicious dishes they were destined to be.
