About the Book


More than just a collection of recipes, It's Quarter to Twelve O'Clock Somewhere is an intimate journey through a life shaped by food, memory, and storytelling. Woven throughout its pages are not only dishes to prepare, but the moments, reflections, and experiences that give them meaning.

For the author, life unfolds in the spaces between meals—and it is in those spaces that these stories live. Some are light-hearted and quietly amusing; others carry the weight of both joy and sorrow, often intertwined in ways that feel deeply familiar. Certain memories are shared freely, while others are left hinted at, inviting the reader to read between the lines.

The anecdotes are not arranged in neat chronological order, mirroring the way memory itself works—fragmented, surprising, and richly layered. Together with the recipes and photographs, they offer a subtle yet revealing portrait of the person behind the book.

For those who wish to trace the threads more clearly, a brief personal history at the back provides context—but it is through the interplay of food and story that the author is most fully known.

This is a cookery book for those who believe that what we eat is inseparable from who we are—and that every dish has a story worth telling.

About the Author :
John Barrass spent 20 years flying with the RAF and RCAF before entering the aviation and defence industry. He also spent 7 years in the Army Reserve. John’s first book It’s quarter to five o’clock somewhere contained a selection of simple, easy to make recipes inspired by his travels. His second book “it’s quarter to twelve o’clock somewhere – it’s never too early for lunch” is a collection of comfort food recipes as well as related anecdotes and is part autobiographical linking recipes to experiences in his life. John is working on other book projects including a history of the Cornish pasty; a collection of recipes from around the world similar to the pasty with a humorous and mostly fictional explanation of their connection to Cornwall.
