(What's this?)
This is a lovely book. It's well bound with a hard cover and has nice 'textured' paper, so it is nice on the coffee table as well as the kitchen. If you saw the TV series, then you'll be familiar with the book already - it reads as 'the good and the great' of modern, innovative, cutting-edge British cooking. You won't find the really big hitters - Ramsey, Oliver, Pierre-White and the like, but that's the idea - these are the up-and-coming chefs from gastro-pubs and small restaurants but there's plenty of Michelin guide establishments there. The book is sectioned by food type: soup, starters, fish, meat, vegetarian, desserts, etc. Vegetarians are poorly served as that section is very thin! But if you like red meat, fish and game, there's no problem! Each recipe features a particular chef and location / restaurant, with pictures and descriptions of locales and anecdotes. As a keen home chef, I found the recipes 'do-able' - though I think you'd need access to a Waitrose or a good 'middle class urban village' to get some of the ingredients. But overall, this is one of the best books of its kind I have seen for while.... highly recommended

(What's this?)
i found this book to be very interesting. It was good to read up about each chef and get a little bit of personal feedback. The recipes on the whole however, were a little too adventurous for me. Having said that, they were written in a very straight forward way. Some of the ingredients mentioned in this book I would not buy such as kangaroo and wood pigeon. Some of the recipes were certainly unusual and cooked after all by top chefs. Having said all of this however, I will have a go at some of the dishes although they may not look so spectacular as the pictures in the book!!!!

These are potted histories and dishes of working chefs who have their own kitchens and provide fine dining.
I can't wait to try many of the recipes, Sound of Mull Fish Pie, Beef Fillet Wrapped in Coppa, Cambridge Burnt Cream and Pear and Almond Panna Cotta to name but a few.
Many of the dishes require an experienced cook but mostly consist of several parts many of which you can cook separately, for example there is an excellent recipe for cavolo nero and another on how to get crisp pork crackling by cooking between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper between 2 baking sheets.
The deserts are particularly approachable and many recipes have top tips given with them.
Some unusual ingredients have been used, kangaroo, ostrich, hare and samphire for example.
All in all a book I will keep dipping into.
