Product Description

This magnificent aspirational cookery book, exquisitely photographed and designed, is the British equivalent of The French Laundry Cookbook – a restaurant recipe book from a chef at the height of his powers. Famed the world over for his dedication and single mindedness, his cuisine is both about essential flavors and the inspirational use of wild food picked from the Cotswold countryside near his home. This is an aspirational cookery book of the highest order. A book that all serious food lovers and professional chefs will want to own and one that is surprisingly easy to cook from. (He produces his award-winning dishes with a brigade of just three – the smallest two-star Michelin brigade in the world!)

Customer Reviews

Beautiful photographs & exciting recipes
This is a very impressive book, good for both the coffee table and for the kitchen cooking stand. It's definitely food porn in the same way the Charlie Trotter cookbooks are. Beautiful to look at, but probably not all realistic to make at home. But then you try, and the recipes are reasonably friendly for the home cook. After all these recipes from the two Michelin star restaurant are made by a staff of three, the smallest two star restaurant staff. Maybe your home staff of one (or two if you can get someone to help grate the potatoes) has a chance afterall...

Not for every day cooks
Just about everything in the official review of this book is true. The pictures are fantastic. There are plenty of them. The recipes are described in detail. The book does inspire one to strive for the next level. However, what they failed to mention is that EVERYTHING is in metric. After rereading the review, it does state over and over that this chef is in Britain. Perhaps it is obvious to others and I just missed it. As a beginner, I am going to have to convert everything over to American. Probably not the biggest obstacle, but an annoyance nonetheless. Also, many of the ingredients don't exist out here. They will have to be ordered online. Yet another obstacle.

In all, I enjoy looking at, reading and contemplating the recipes found here. There is very little chance of me ever making any of it. Definitely a coffee table tome.
