'I want to emphasise that this cookbook is not just about food; it's also about the joy of cooking. Cooking is a creative process that allows you to express yourself and experiment with different flavours and ingredients. It's a way to connect with your family and friends and create memories that will last a lifetime.

About the Author

David Herbert grew up swimming, fishing (and occasionally bodysurfing with dolphins) in Nelson Bay, New South Wales, but from a very young age he developed a love for food, cooking and collecting cookbooks. Inspired by food writers such as Stephanie Alexander, Charmaine Solomon, Claudia Roden and Maggie Beer, David cultivated a food philosophy based on creating simple, achievable delicious recipes for home cooks.

After a career in Australia that included working as a private chef to two prime ministers, David moved permanently to the UK, where he was food editor for Delia Smith at Sainsbury's Magazine and then Condé Nast. Until late 2021, David continued to contribute two 'Perfect' recipes every week for 20 years to The Weekend Australian Magazine.


He is the author of seven cookbooks - including the iconic Perfect series, based on his newspaper column - and is currently working as a freelance journalist specialising in food, interiors and the arts. David lives in North Yorkshire and visits Australia regularly.
