From a pint and a pie to ice baths and deep tissue massages, from Cornish Colts to World Cup final captain, and from qualified cattle inseminator to owner of a sports fashion label, Phil Vickery, a.k.a. Raging Bull,” has pretty such seen and done it all in life and in rugby, straddling the amateur and professional eras like a bovine colossus. This is the iconic tight-head prop's own incredible story, the tale of a true legend of rugby union; a tough, no-nonsense player who is as fearless and uncompromising on the pitch as he is a great raconteur off of it. His career spans amateurism and professionalism, starting in the Cornish countryside and traveling to two World Cup finals and two Lions tours. Vickery is a hugely passionate player. He sports a tattoo which announces I'll fight you to the death” and has overcome serious injuries (including eight operations) in a career of stunning highs and devastating lows. He plays his sport in the best traditions of rugby and he is a storyteller par excellence. Raging Bull will transport readers to the England front row in Six Nations clashes at Twickenham, to the changing rooms on British Lions tours, and to the bars of many an amateur rugby club. It will remind fans what rugby is really all aboutthe fun and camaraderie, the passion and commitment, as the former herdsman turned England and Lions star takes you to the heart and soul of the sport he loves.

Biographies & Memoirs

Harpercollins Pub, Ltd.

A definitive collection by a young Michelin-starred chef who is passionate about puddings. Phil Vickery - one of the most highly regarded young chefs in Britain - is particularly celebrated for his fabulous puddings. Puddings are his personal passion. As he says in his introduction, "I have cooked, eaten and prepared thousands of puddings and desserts in my twenty-three of cooking professionally, and I can truthfully say that no other section of the modern kitchen inspires me so much. Desserts are comforting, satisfying, and deeply enjoyable. I just want to take the fear out of puddings and to show why it is that puddings are so wonderful to cook, and eat." Though he is a chef Phil Vickery's style of cooking is much closer to good, simple home cooking than to restaurant food. Proof Of The Pudding is a collection of 200 unfussy recipes, all of which are easily achievable at home. Phil Vickery covers the whole range of sweet cooking and draws on various culinary traditions, including British and Continental. His book is at once comprehensive and authoritative. It touches on the history of desserts and puddings, their ingredients, processes and techniques. Every sort of pudding is represented here, including flans and tarts, sponge puddings, milk and cream puddings, meringues, mousses and cheesecakes, souffles, fruit purees and compotes, and sweet breads. The design of Proof Of The Pudding is luxurious and contemporary, and the colours - sugar-almond pink, eggy yellows, creamy whites and chocolatey browns - evoke the visual pleasures of puddings.
