Relish South West offers a Treat for Fine Diners
A group of award-winning Devon chefs have come up with the perfect recipe for Christmas – by taking the starring role in a new book about the finest restaurants of the South West.
Double Michelin starred chef Michael Caines, from Gidleigh Park, at Chagford, has been joined in Relish South West by five more Devon chefs.
The book was launched yesterday by Relish Publications, which has created a series of fine dining guides around the UK, by Relish owners Duncan and Teresa Peters and chefs from across the region.
The book features the Salty Monk, at Sidmouth; Blagdon Manor, at Blagdon; The Tower Inn, at Slapton; The Masons Arms, at Knowstone; and the Millbrook Inn, at Kingsbridge.
Mr Caines said the book showcased the great produce and restaurants of the South West region.
He said: “As a Devon boy, I have always felt the importance of supporting local producers. In a rural area, that helps local communities to thrive and keeps businesses and families in the region. The South West continues to lead the UK in high quality, authentic cooking with locally sourced ingredients and that’s what makes it special.”
Andy Witheridge, from the Salty Monk, said the book was visually stunning. He said: “There’s a lot for us to be proud about here in Devon and hopefully people will really enjoy Relish South West.”
Thea Butler, co-owner of The Tower Inn, added: “We’re honoured to be part of such a great book, which shows off Devon and the South West at its absolute best.”
Publisher Duncan Peters said Relish South West was the perfect showcase. He said: “The region really drives for perfection and there is a real sense that supporting local producers and using locally-sourced premium quality products is at the heart of the philosophy of many of the great chefs.”
Relish general manager Teresa Peters added: “This has been one of our best books and we are thrilled to be showcasing the finest chefs of the South West. The book is out just in time for Christmas and makes an excellent gift.”
The book features chefs from Bath, the Isle of Wight, Devon, Cornwall, Bristol, Somerset and other parts of the South West.
