Format:Hardcover
Surviving training under Gordon Ramsay is no mean feat, but Marcus Wareing proved more than capable of holding his own. With a clutch of Michelin stars, now he has his first cookery book to add to his parade.
In `How to Cook the Perfect...' Marcus has assembled a collection of recipes that cover a wide range of homely favourites with a focus on his `Keys to Perfection'. These pinpoint the whys and wherefores of each dish and help you achieve the highest standards, as well as show you how to avoid culinary disasters.
Marcus, you may remember, won the pudding round of the Great British Menu 2006 with his Custard Tart. Now, armed with his recipe, you can make it, as well as such delights as Shallot Tatins, Fried Eggs `Banjo', and Couscous with Candied Lemon with utter confidence.
Despite his background, this isn't a book full of tricksy recipes that look gorgeous but are far too daunting to attempt yourself. Mum's Pork Chops, or a simple, but heavenly-looking Tomato Salad hark back to Marcus' Northern childhood. Not only are they completely family- but also user-friendly.

I don't normally do this kind of thing with reviews but I felt compelled to after owning this book for around 6 months. I am a keen cook and have a real love for food, wanting to develop the fundamental skills of good cooking and being a fan of Marcus' work made me buy this book and I am so glad i did.
His two Michelin star credentials shine through in the recipes which I would call conventional but delicious, the method not too complicated and the results amazing! By far and away the best bit about this book are Marcus' 'Key's To Perfection' that accompany all recipes, outside the main body of text (often on the opposite page with pictures) he gives you little tips and advice on how to reach 'perfection'.
He also doesn't assume that it will all go well first time round, the 'All Is Not Lost' sections of the recipes give's you a chance to rescue the meal or simply take it to another level.
I have over 20 cook books including Ramsay, Pierre White, Aitkins, Torode, Worrall Thompson, Slater and Atherton but this is the one i turn to time and time again - a truly perfect cook book to have in the kitchen, I cant review it well enough, if Amazon had six stars this would certainly get it!

Top Class book from a top rate Michelin star chef. This guy has worked in some of England's best restaurants such as Le Gavroche under the Roux brothers and more recently Gordon Ramsay. But his recipes do not patronize in anyway but are down to earth. This is more than just a set of recipes, but it gives you an incite into the thought processes behind the dish, and it highlights potential pit-falls.
This book has developed myself as cook, and the little tips dotted out across the book are very helpful. Good stage by stage pictures and was nice to know where Wareing discovered these dishes etc.
There are millions of cook books on the market, but this is one you should have.

Excellent cookbook, as always with Marcus Wareing. Very good value for money. I did buy his Nutmeg and Custard some time ago but this has been snaffled by my daughter!
