Book Description

21 Feb 2011

Raymond Blanc is revered as a culinary legend, whose love of delicious

food is lifelong. Years of experience have given him a rich store of

knowledge and the skill to create fantastic dishes that work time after

time. With a range of

achievable and

inspirational recipes for cooks of all abilities, Kitchen Secrets

is all about bringing Gallic passion and precision into the home

kitchen. Raymond has done all the hard work, refining recipes over

months and even years until they are quite perfect. Every recipe

includes explanations and hints to ensure that your results are

consistently brilliant.


Dishes that once seemed plain, or impossibly complex, suddenly become

simple and elegant; the book's sixteen chapters include classics like

watercress soup, chicory and Roquefort salad, cep ravioli, apricot

cassoulet, chicken liver parfait, confit salmon, moules marnière,

grilled dover sole, home cured ham, pot au feu, lambs liver persillade,

roast wild duck, lamb cutlets, galette des Rois, cherry clafoutis and

Maman Blanc's own chocolate mousse.


With scores of recipes from both series of Kitchen Secrets, this is guaranteed to be a must-have for anybody with a love of French cuisine and finesse.

Our favourite Frenchman still sets the standards to which future generations of chefs aspire (Observer )

Only a few great chefs are produced every century. Raymond Blanc is one of those great chefs (Marco Pierre White )

This book is a must (Daily Express )

PRAISE FOR THE BBC TELEVISION SERIES:

Blanc's kitchen skills are self-evident, but it's his style that is so compelling (Guardian )

A culinary crusade to demystify the tricks of haute cuisine (Observer )

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for special occasions 12 April 2011
Format:Hardcover
Raymond Blanc gives clear instructions with a beautiful colour photograph of each recipe. He anticipates any queries with footnote tips on how to deal with them. Each recipe is a clear step by step guide as in his recent Kitchen Secrets TV programme. The recipes are for special occasions or those who like to produce really good meals at home. I am an experienced cook but found much to learn here. It is not a basic cook book for which there is the excellent Delia. A valued buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a pleasure 1 Mar 2011
By David Jenkins VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I watched the first television series of Kitchen Secrets with great enjoyment. It was extremely frustrating to discover there was no book to go with the series. The second series has just started, continuing where the last one left off, but with the bonus that the book Kitchen Secrets is now available.

I have always been a fan of Raymond Blanc and have especially enjoyed this TV series because it gets back to what I believe cooking programmes should be about - the food! The book is a complete accompaniment to the series. Each recipe is reproduced with clear instructions as well as guidance notes to answer those questions you often find unanswered in a recipe. Needless to say the photography of the dishes is stunning.

What I like so much about Kitchen Secrets is that most of the recipes are within my skill range (I am just a keen amateur who enjoys good food) and this book enables me to create some great dishes. I can't wait to impress friends and family when I make the Chocolate Delice!

If you don't buy any other cooking book this year it won't matter if you have got Kitchen Secrets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Help and Recipes 7 Feb 2011
By Maureen
Format:Hardcover
This is a recipe book like no other. The most complicated things are simply explained and even my very first recipe was a huge success.
The book gives the answer to so many questions it is invaluable; especially to a self-taught cook like me.
