‘For the past twenty-five years, I have been reviewing restaurants across Britain and beyond, from the humblest of diners to the grandest of gastro-palaces. And throughout I’ve been taking the best ideas home with me to create glorious dishes for my own table.
Now I get to share those recipes with you.’
With 60 recipes that take their inspiration from restaurants dishes served across the UK and further afield, Nights Out at Home includes a cheat’s version of :
- The Ivy’s famed crispy duck salad
- The brown butter and sage flatbreads from Manchester’s Erst
- The cult tandoori lamb chops from London’s Tayyabs - a recipe which has never been written down before!
- Jay’s own personal take on the mighty Greggs Steak Bake
Seasoned with stories from Jay’s life as a restaurant critic, and written with warmth, wit and the blessing, and often help, of the chefs themselves, Nights Out at Home is a celebration of good food, great eating experiences, and home cooking – with a twist!

Jay has a way with words, but he’s also a dab hand in the kitchen. This book is not just a collection of food memories but also of recipes that make you want to roll up your sleeves and start cooking * Michel Roux *
A fantastic collection of heart warming, full-flavoured recipes from one of Britain’s leading food writers. Each recipe is beautifully put together and the stories that go with them are wonderfully written. A must buy for anyone who loves food, restaurants and cooking * Tom Kerridge *
I can say without hesitation, having known and eaten with Jay for many many years, that he is the undisputed egalitarian king of finding the most delicious things wherever he goes. He elicits the same amount of delight from great food whether it is on the high road or the high table.
This book allows him to share with us the pure joy that he takes in discovery, and of course with Jay as our guide it’s a particularly witty mouth tingling taste adventure! Sheer brilliance.
