Win a set of Opinel cooks knives plus a copy of The Racine Effect by Henry Harris

Our competition this month is a celebration of French culinary tradition — from the enduring elegance of a well-balanced knife to the generous, bistro spirit of classic French cooking.

To mark the arrival of The Racine Effect by Henry Harris, we’ve partnered with Berry Useful to offer Side Orders members the chance to win one of two Opinel Parallèle Trio Sets alongside a copy of Henry’s long-awaited new cookbook.

Crafted in the French tradition, the Opinel Parallèle Trio Set is designed for cooks who understand that good preparation is the foundation of good cooking. Each knife features a tactile beech or olive wood handle and a sharp stainless steel blade, resistant to wear and corrosion — dependable, precise tools that allow you to enjoy a touch of Opinel excellence every time you cook.

Invented by Joseph Opinel in 1890, the Opinel knife was created for its simplicity, robustness and functionality. Over 130 years later, the distinctive wooden-handle knife has proven its popularity with home cooks and aspiring chefs effortlessly slicing, chopping and carving to make light work of everyday meal prep.

The Parallèle Trio Set includes three essential knives. The Chef's knife (20cm) with it's all-purpose blade for slicing, dicing, chopping and mincing; the Carving knife (16cm) which effortlessly carves roasting joints and the Paring knife (8cm) for preparing fruit and vegetables or trimming meat - together they form a versatile, hardworking set you'll reach for every day.

Alongside this, The Racine Effect (published by Quadrille on March 26) is a love letter to French cooking and to the restaurant that shaped a generation of British dining. Henry Harris’ first book in two decades gathers over 120 recipes written with warmth and profound knowledge. From Tomates Farçies and Steak Tartare to Salade Lyonnaise and Lemon Icebox Pudding, it’s a masterclass in robust French flavours and time-honoured technique — and we’re delighted to be sharing a selection of these recipes with you in our Books for Cooks collection.
