Product Description

Review
You may know Jason Atherton as head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Michelin-starred London restaurant, 'Maze'. Jason describes his favourite recipes just as they are prepared in the restaurant, offering everyone the opportunity to create a little Maze at home, and follows each recipe with two more dishes based on the same core ingredients. --DELICIOUS magazine, March 2008

Olive magazine - BOOK OF THE MONTH
This cookbook by seriously talented chef Jason Atherton is the kind that makes it worth spending hours in the kitchen. Beautifully photographed, it's packed with recipes that reflect the clever, well thought out food served at MAZE, where Atherton is executive chef. Many of the recipes, such as braised shin of veal with pea risotto, require skill and time to put together their constituent parts but you can cherry pick parts to make alone, such as the risotto. This is the perfect present for a competent cook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Work yourself up to the main event., 29 May 2008
By mreeyore (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
I was a bit unsure about purchasing this book having read previous reviews but being a big fan of Jason Atherton's cooking and Maze restaurant I decided to give it a go.

This is an unusual book in that it presents you with both detailed restaurant style recipes such as those included in Thomas Keller's French Laundry book or Gordon Ramsay's 3 Star Chef book and also recipes geared towards something you can throw together for a midweek meal but using the same ingredients or leftovers from the main recipe.

The restaurant style recipes of which there are 30 are well laid out, several of them recognisable from the Maze menu and suitably adjusted for the home kitchen, most of them require plenty of time and serious effort however after trying a few of them, they work and have impressed friends and family. The easier recipes are then provided as two options from the main recipe. It's a good approach, I've found myself either preparing an easier recipe in advance where for example the main recipe requires a pre-made component such as a sorbet or a confit that can be stored for the main event or alternatively using up leftovers in easier meals.

For anyone who has tried to step up their home-cooking with the likes of Essence, The French Laundry Cookbook etc. and found them a little daunting this book is a good stepping stone for building confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars both for the home and the professional cook, 12 Jun 2008
If the other reviewers read the preface to the book, they would see and understand that there are 30 professional recipes from Maze and 60 more domestic recipes. The 60 easier recipes (2 for each professional one) are based on "leftovers" or the same ingredients/flavors as the 30 professional recipes aimed towards the home cook.

It is a nice balance between the professional chef and the average chef.
The photography is beautiful and book flows well.
A solid addition to any cookbook collection. Jason Atherton is London's rising star.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just a basic book for home cooks., 26 April 2008
I would have to say that I was rather disapointed with this book. As a chef myself I was looking forward to reading recipes to some of the amazing Maze restaurant dishes. But actually this book is more of a basic home cook book.

It does include some great recipes of dishes from the restaurant but most are very basic recipes for the home cook. Obviously most cook books are geared towards the home cook and recipe books that are written for chefs are a little daunting for the general home cook but if using the restaurants name for the book it should have a reasonable amount of dishes that are actually from the restaurant thet it shares the name with.
I personally dont think that this book is a good reflection of the food at maze (yes I have been) and is definetly not a reflection of the chef Jason Atherton cooking amazing talents.
