Here is some solace if you cannot/will not go to your favorite restaurant due to your new financial circumstances.

Terrence Conran or rather Simon Hopkinson and Matthew Harris, the chefs at his Bidendum Restaurant in Michelin House on Fulham Road in London have decided to share their secret sauce in the Bibendum Cookbook.

They share a few of their recipes in How to Eat Out at Home (Guardian, October 19).My favorite has to be their Escargots à la Bourguignonne with butter of course inspired by Chez L'Ami Louis, a Parisian bistrot.

Bon appetit!
