Finally! I have admired Marcus Wareing as a chef from taking over at the Savoy Grill and Petrus. He was also exposed to a wider audience during the Great British Menu series for the Queen's birthday. But for this book I agree that we needed a return to basic about things in some ways and the writing style here is not patronising and the illustrations are very helpful. What makes this book different is the 'All is not lost' section so that if you do end up overpoaching at egg, undercook pork or fish, then he... more info
perfection personified I have to start by saying that I have owned this book for almost a year and I love it - it is in my kitchen as opposed to on my cookery book shelf in my study.

Not what I expected from team Ramsay Any chef from the Gordon Ramsay stable has to be exceptional, but I have to agree with serious foodie (by the way, I don't have a problem with this name) that this lightweight book does nothing for those who have even a basic knowledge of cooking. It is definitely not up to the level that we have come to expect from team Ramsay.
For an example of a really inspirational cookbook please look at Gordon Ramsay's Recipes from a 3 star chef. I think you will agree there is no comparison.
