To celebrate the publication of The Racine Effect, we’re giving you and a lucky plus one the chance to win a complimentary meal at Henry Harris’ Bouchon Racine, plus £100 travel money.

In The Racine Effect, his first book in twenty years, Henry brings together more than 120 recipes that distil a lifetime spent perfecting the nostalgic, comforting cooking of France’s neighbourhood restaurants. From Bayonne ham with celeriac rémoulade to Lamb chops with anchovy toasts, and his most requested recipe ever, Crème caramel, this is a masterclass in generosity, simplicity and balance. Over a decade since the legendary Racine in Knightsbridge closed its doors, Henry’s Bouchon Racine in Farringdon is inspiring a new generation of chefs and diners.

Including recipes from Bouchon Racine and his home, Henry shares the lessons of a life in kitchens both grand and humble: stories from working under and alongside Simon Hopkinson at Hilaire and Bibendum, his time as founding chef of Harvey Nichols’ Fifth Floor Restaurant, and the journey that made Racine one of London’s most beloved dining rooms.

To enter, simply pre-order a copy of The Racine Effect and fill out the form below by 23:59 on Wednesday 25th March 2026. Good luck!
