Elly is a remarkable talent, showcasing a remarkable balance of palette and flavour understanding, resulting in impeccable cooking that can be described as heavenly. At such a young age, she has already made a significant impact on the South West cookery scene.

Elly was a finalist on BBC's Masterchef: The Professionals in 2016, representing the South West on the esteemed Great British Menu and Channel 4's Best of Britain by the Sea. Since 2018, she has held the position of Head and, recently, Executive Head Chef at the iconic Angel restaurant in Dartmouth, nestled within the picturesque Dartmouth harbour.

The book, titled "Elly's Angel: A Celebration of Fine Dining," delves into the history of the restaurant and its renowned chefs, including Joyce Molyneux, the pioneering Michelin-starred chef of The Hole in Wall in Bath and The Carved Angel. Elly shares Joyce's commitment to using local, fresh, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients, and like Joyce, she operates an open kitchen to allow diners to fully immerse themselves in the exquisite fine dining and tasting menus she creates.

This collection of Elly's stunning recipes spans various seasons, offering a range of canapés, starters, amuse bouches, main courses, pre-desserts, desserts, and petit fours. Each dish is crafted with the finest Devon produce, showcasing Elly's culinary artistry and dedication to local flavours. Inspired by Joyce's menus and local favourites, such as the famous Dartmouth Pie, Elly's dishes showcase a harmonious blend of ingredients and techniques. From the delicate Free Dived Scallops with Cucumber Butter and Pickled Mustard Seed to the rich Ruby Red Beef Fillet with Carmelised Onion, Horseradish Buttermilk, and Red Wine Jus, each dish is a testament to her culinary prowess.

The menu also features a delightful range of starters, including Cod Brandade with Malt Vinegar Jam and Devonshire Lamb Loin with Brown Butter Artichokes and Sauce Picante. For dessert, guests can indulge in a selection of exquisite creations, such as the Roasted Coffee Parfait, Mascarpone, and White Chocolate Granita, as well as her acclaimed Penny Black dessert.

Elly's Angel: A Celebration of Fine Dining is not only a celebration of Elly's culinary skills but also a tribute to the rich culinary heritage of the South West. It is a must-have for food enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates the art of fine dining.
