For twenty-five years, award-winning restaurant critic Jay Rayner has been uncovering the very best of the nation's eateries, from high end restaurants to high street grills. Now, in a love letter to his favourite eating houses, Jay serves up recipes inspired by the superb dishes that have stolen his heart over the decades, giving home cooks the chance to experience the best of that food for themselves.

From a cheat's version of the original Ivy's famed crispy duck salad to a DIY Greggs Steak Bake; from New York delis to Whitechapel curry houses, Nights Out at Home tells the stories of the places and the meals that have shaped Jay's career. With the blessing - and often the help - of the chefs themselves, he unpicks the tastes and techniques behind the recipes, for us to conjure up at home.

Funny, moving and deliciously engaging, Nights Out at Home is a celebration of good food and fantastic writing, which belongs on the bedside table as much as the kitchen table.
