Cooks do a lot more than simply heat food - they transform ingredients. Summer's Lease looks at the cooking techniques which let us step away from the stove and lend themselves perfectly to summer eating: breaking, salting, souring and ageing. Through recipes and meanderings, award-winning food writer Thom Eagle explores what it means to create dishes without a reliance on fire and flame, and offers a unique and tantalising glimpse inside the mind of a chef.
