Food and Conversation: Dinner with John Williams MBE

One of the most respected chefs in Britain, John Williams MBE, in his trademark oversized chef's hat, has overseen The Ritz restaurant since 2004. One of the world's most prestigious hotels, its kitchen brigade includes over 60 chefs responsible for the menus. Sublime signature dishes and simple seasonal recipes adorn the book's pages, each one with Williams' flair for creating beautiful, delicate pieces of edible art. He received the ultimate accolade of an MBE for services to hospitality in 2008 in a career spanning over 40 years and this year won the Lifetime Achievement Award at The National Restaurant Awards.
