Relish Race into First Place for North West Launch

Relish Publications, the UK’s leading fine dining guide and recipe book publisher launch their latest offering next week, with the publication of Relish North West. The launch takes place at Restaurant 1539 at Chester Racecourse, which features in the latest book, and the event will be a celebration of all the restaurants, with executive teams, and owners of the North West’s leading restaurants in attendance.

This book features many of the leading restaurants across the region including; James Martin @manchester235, Evuna, Storrs Hall in Windermere, Delifonseca in Liverpool, Chilli Banana in Wilmslow, George and Dragon near Penrith, Michael Caines Adobe Hotel in Chester and The Inn at Whitewell near Clitheroe.

The forward of the latest book has been written by award winning chef Paul Heathcote MBE. Paul is one of the regions most celebrated chefs and his career has spanned stints in Switzerland, Sharrow Bay Hotel, Ullswater, The Connaught in Mayfair, London and Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons. At the age of just 29 he opened his eponymous restaurant in Longridge, Preston. Within two years he had been awarded his first Michelin and Egon Ronay stars along with The Good Food Guide’s ‘Restaurant of the Year’. Within a week of the restaurant’s second anniversary, he was nominated ‘Newcomer of the Year’ in the Catey Awards. In the same year Charles Heidsieck Champagne Guide voted Paul Heathcotes as ‘one of the best restaurants in the world’. His legacy goes from strength to strength and he is now one of the most respected and celebrated chefs of this generation.

Commenting on the new book Paul said: ‘Take a drive from Hope Street in Liverpool to the wonderful countryside of Cumbria and the Ribble Valley and back into the City of Manchester and you will find the North West is blessed with famous chefs like Michael Caines, Paul Askew, Andrew Nutter and James Martin alongside many other establishments with great chefs and front of house managers.’

‘I feel privileged to be introducing you to page after page of fantastic recipes from creative chefs in a variety of great places to eat, in a region where we are all so proud to work and is celebrated, right here, in Relish North West.’

Commenting on the new book, Duncan Peters from Relish Publications said:

"We have really enjoyed producing the latest Relish Fine Dining Guide and Recipe book as the North West is packed with outstanding restaurants, enormously talented chefs and wonderful locations. The high standard of all the restaurants and the really talented chefs that operate across the North West makes the area a food lovers’ dream. We have some outstanding new chefs and venues featured in the latest book, and the signature dishes which appear throughout this book, and some of the inventive recipes which have been devised for this latest edition, just demonstrate the talent this region has to offer. The number of outstanding establishments we have visited and worked with in this edition is a testament to the strength of the restaurant sector across the whole of the North West from Chester to Cumbria.'

'Our launch at Restaurant 1539 Chester Race Course will be a really great event for everyone in the culinary arts across the region as we expect to attract the chefs from most of the participating restaurants and many of their teams on the day.'
