Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Raymond Blanc's multi-starred Oxfordshire restaurant--Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons--is not often associated with fast food. But in fact Blanc has long promoted a speedy, fresh and healthy gourmet eating that has nothing to do with burgers and chips. Blanc has collaborated with physician Dr Jean Monro on Blanc Vite and its recipes and approach combine use of the freshest ingredients, organic as often as possible, with cooking techniques that complement the basic flavour of the food as opposed to masking it. In a passionate introduction, Blanc quotes Hippocrates: "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food", before going on to give his 10 commandments of food and be surprisingly (very surprisingly for a top chef) kind to vegetarians. The recipes start with breakfast--anyone for pears with vanilla?--then on through snacks, fish, meat, veggie and desserts. A basic knowledge of cooking is required to take on the recipes but most of all you need appreciation of food and that's what Blanc helps with. This inspiring book at last clarifies the difference between health food which tastes like sawdust and healthy food which tastes like heaven. Bonne Sante. --Nick Wroe --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cookery Book Ever?, 27 Jul 2002
By S. A. Hutchinson "shiveringgoat" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book has changed the way that I cook (as a food lover) for the following reasons;
1. The recipes are fast,and easy to follow - and most importantly they work. If you are making dinner 90% of these recipes can be done a few hours before, thus giving you time to socialise with your guests rather than being a slave to your kitchen, then simply finish them off before serving. This is why this book is so practical.
2.The standard of the end results are better than most restaurant food.The recipes take you to another level of cookery with interesting/radical combinations of ingredients and how beautiful the dishes taste/look on the plate.
3.As Raymond Blanc never trained under a rigid master chef, in my opinion, he was allowed to indulge his curiosity far more than his competitors, therefore creating dishes of real imagination, this in my opinion makes him stand above the rest of his competition.
4.There are many Vegetarian dishes in here and I admire Raymond for devoting time to this as it is sadly neglected by most other contemporary chefs.(roasted ceps with Jerusalem artichokes- WOW!)
5.There are suggestions for breakfasts (scrambled egg and pesto), tips on how to make the perfect poached eggs, sandwich suggestions, and of course mains, with superb deserts (grilled figs with raspberries and port-amazing!, and the one that all my friends adore - confit of plums in red wine and vanilla).
Hope you find this review helpful,and share my enthusiasm - you won't be disappointed..

5.0 out of 5 stars Just want to rush into the kitchen and start cooking!, 11 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This was a totally unexpected Christmas present from my daughter, who recently stayed at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons. She knows how much I love to cook and try out new recipes. Raymond Blanc has it all in this book, originality and freshness, the ingredients speak for themselves. His knowledge of all health aspects is impressive and it is a wonderful guide for anyone with little time to spare and loves really really good food. Thankyou Monsieur Blanc

5.0 out of 5 stars In My Top 5, 15 Feb 2009
By S. Lumley (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Blanc Vite: Fast Fresh Food from Raymond Blanc (Hardcover)
I love good food and enjoy cooking so my shelves heave with cookery books. Even so, Blanc Vite is a firm favourite. A lovely writing style, recipes that are easy to follow, ingredients you can buy easily, gorgeous photos and the knowledge that on the whole these recipes do you good. What more could you want?

Other favourites I actually use: Prue Leith Cookery Bible, Bill's Food, 1080 Recipes, The Conran Cookbook, Rick Steins French Odyssey, Floyd on Italy and Just Like Mother Used to Make. All the others just sit there !!!!!
