“There are cookbooks that define a generation and redefine how people cook. This is one of them.
Without question, I would not be where I am today without my time at The Square.
This book encapsulates that magical restaurant, its people, its dishes, and Phil’s inspiring dedication to the delivery of pleasure through food - a MUST have for anyone remotely interested in the brilliance in cookery.”

Split into 12 chapters the book is home to the insights of a chef who’s reputation for outstanding desserts was gained through the delivery of pleasure rather than technical wizardry.

A Note From The Publisher
"I had originally planned to publish Phil’s two Square Restaurant cookbooks in a single volume. However, it soon became clear that the sheer scope, breadth and extent of Phil’s masterclass in recipe writing would need to appear within two stand alone books. One book dedicated to savoury dishes and one book to sweet.
But now, in a publisher’s cut, and as a celebratory event, Savoury and Sweet are printed together in one handsome volume as a one off 250 copy, limited edition.
The original publishing intent has come to fruition.
This is Phil’s masterpiece. Unmatched and unrivalled.
John Croft - Publisher
"Of all the things that have come to be since The Square came to an end, it is the fact that the books have become such a valued legacy of the food that means so much to me. To finally have the limited edition combined volume is the icing on the cake!"
