Michael Caines commented on his passion for the region and the importance of local produce: ‘As a Devon boy I have always felt the importance of supporting local producers; in a rural area it helps small communities to thrive and keeps businesses and families in the region. For me, it means that I always have great produce to inspire my menus. The south west continues to lead the UK in high quality, authentic cooking with locally sourced ingredients and that’s what makes it special.’
Talking about the new Relish Publication Michael Caines also stated: ‘This book is packed full of exceptional places to eat, and delicious recipes to cook, so get stuck into it and hopefully the south west will inspire you as much as it inspires me.’
Commenting on the new book, Duncan Peters from Relish Publications said: ‘The South West has been an incredible region to produce a book for, as the range of fine dining experiences and outstanding restaurants we have in the book shows. The region really drives for perfection, and there is a real sense that supporting local producers and using local sourced products is at the heart of the philosophy of many of the great chefs. This has been one of our best books to pull together, and for anyone visiting or living in the South west provides an excellent choice of recipes to try at home, and even better, a wide selection of wonderful restaurants to visit.’
