'Every self-respecting religion needs its bible and now, thanks to Tim Hayward, steak has its own. Steak is a work of endearing nerdiness, detailed scholarship and profound appetite.' – Jay Rayner 'Learned and witty, this timely, brilliant book is a treatise on the wonders of steak cooking, dispelling myth and instilling sage wisdom.' – Jeremy Lee 'Wow, an amazing book by an incredible writer who knows how to engage you from the first sentence. An encyclopaedia on steak which every young chef should read, or anyone who owns a pair of tongs!' – Angela Hartnett 'A real beauty of a book – surprising, fascinating, full of wit and so many things I never knew – a book you can really sink your teeth into!' – Adrian Edmonson 'It's the book we needed when we started Hawksmoor, and the book that people who love steak deserve.' – Will Beckett
