Octopus is to publish Rosemary Shrager’s Absolutely Foolproof Classic Home Cooking.
Publishing director Stephanie Jackson acquired world rights through Heather Holden Brown at HHB Agency, with Octopus to publish under the Hamlyn imprint in May.
The book features more than 20 basic recipes to introduce fundamental cookery techniques, as well as 250 classic dishes.
Jackson said: "Rosemary Shrager is one of our most trusted cooks, the most fantastic fun and an absolute inspiration. Not only does she make cooking anything easy, but her recipes are totally delicious. We're thrilled to be working with her."
Shrager has her own cookery school, has worked with chefs including Jean-Christophe Novelli, and regularly appears on television, with a forthcoming BBC2 series "Royal Upstairs Downstairs" also coming in spring 2011.
Hamlyn is planning a high profile publicity campaign for the title's launch.
