5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, 20 Mar 2006
By Emile AULD (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, 16 Feb 2007
By T. Mills "happy chefs" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars almost essential, 19 Dec 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Formulas for Flavour (Hardcover)
this is an almost essential book to every kitchen. it is not about trends or experiments, but lays solid foundations -without being boring or condescending.
attention is given to what you can do in advance (and how long in advance), and nice step-by-step instructions are offered (with photographs). i've made about eight recipies from this book (two starters, three desserts and three main courses), and all went splendidly fine. i even made the lamb stock (18 hours of simmering, reducing 8 litres of water to less than 1 litre of fond) and it came out extremely rich and broad (?) in flavour.
(sits on the shelf next to another essential: 'moro: the cookbook')
