There and Back Again by Glynn Purnell - Standard Edition
Glynn Purnell describes himself as the best chef ever to hail from the Chelmsley Wood Estate. It's a typically comedic and self-depracting description from the man who has done more to raise Birmingham's gastronomic profile than any other cook. When Purnell launched Jessica's, having previously cooked at the two-star Hibiscus, in Ludlow, and have also cooked under Gordon Ramsay, it had no Michelin stars. Now it has five. Purnell has been at the forefront of the culinary renaissance, paving the way for others and leading from the front.
