      A classic recipe interpreted in a simple, no-frills way using chicken thighs rather than a whole bird. Delicious.

Publishers Text

Soho has always been the gastronomic centre of London, attracting those in search of the latest cutting-edge restaurant. In the same way, it has attracted waves of immigrants through the years, from the Italians in the Fifties, whose coffee bars played a key role in the culture of a whole generation, to the Chinese, whose food shops are still a vibrant feature of Soho life.


Over the years, Soho has reflected and determined our changing tastes in food, and no-one is better placed than Alastair Little - the 'godfather' of modern British cooking - to produce a collection of the very best recipes developed there. In his inimitable, witty, iconoclastic way, Alastair weaves through the recipes the stories of Soho, from its markets to its nightlife and the characters who have eaten - and drunk - in its bars and restaurants. Metric measurements.
