Product Description
Imagine having a Michelin-starred chef as your best friend. Someone who would share your love of good food and divulge the culinary expertise that would guarantee all your dishes really work.
Meet John Campbell, acclaimed chef at Lords of the Manor, one of Britain's most luxurious hotels. Here he distills years of hard work and meticulous study in the gastronomic arts and sciences into a concise selection of foolproof gourmet recipes that lovers of fine dining can enjoy at home. Your tastebuds will thrill to the exciting combinations of quality ingredients on John's menus, but best of all, he takes you step-by-step through every stage of each dish's execution, explaining not only what to do when cooking, but how and why. You will be the envy of friends, and well on the way to developing your own signature dishes.

The recipes in this book are hard work and no mistake and can be quite daunting if you try to replicate them in full. Providing you are reasonably comfortable in the kitchen though you can easily cut them down to more manageable components and find pre-prepared alternatives for certain elements.
If you are the kind of person who loves to spend time just playing in the kitchen and want some new inspiration, then this is the book for you. If you think Delia is exotic or Nigella extravagant though... pass this over!

If you want to see how a Michelin Star chef really cooks, then buy this book.
Unlike a lot of other books that promise to show you "the secrets", this one really does.
Don't bother buying it though unless you really want to make the effort to re-create the dishes. You'll need time, patience and determination to match the results.
However you'll learn a lot of solid techniques along the way.

I have over 30-40 different cookbooks from very quick and easy to very complicated. This book is one of the best I have seen for creating top end fine dining at home.
The recipes are very clear and concise and are beautifully illustrated with photos to help you along.
The recipes are quite intricate so I would only recommend for an accomplished home cook.
