1.		Maze: The Cookbook from Quadrille Publishing Ltd Price: £12.50 Customer Review: I bought this for my wife who is a very good cook. I thought there was a good mix of simple and more difficult recipes for her to try. So far she has tried two. The Liquorice poached pears (p210) - trying to get liquorice essence has been a nightmare and it seems that the only place to get it... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Essence: Recipes from Le Champignon Sauvage from Absolute Press Price: £16.25 Customer Review: This isn't a cookbook for the faint-hearted. It is a genuine restaurant book that gives you the precise recipes for some of David's most famous dishes. The instructions are clear and, much more importantly, they work. David's use of seasonal, British produce and wild ingredients makes for one... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		The French Laundry Cookbook from Workman Publishing Price: £20.00 Customer Review: An engrossing book. This book gives an excellent insight into the work and philosophy of a first rate chef. Most of the recipes are quite sophisticated, and the book is probably not one for a novice or nervous cook. The photographs are beautiful, and give splendid ideas for presentation. As a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Grand Livre De Cuisine: Alain Ducasse's Culinary Encyclopedia from Alain Ducasse Price: £26.71 Customer Review: What a beautiful book! I have coveted the large format version of this book for some time Grand Livre De Cuisine: Alain Duccasse's Culinary Encyclopedia but I could not justify the price. In this format the book is just as beautiful and now affordable. It is presented as an encyclopaedia of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Further Adventures in Search of Perfection from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £10.40 Customer Review: In all honesty, I bought this book because (pretentiously)I thought it would look great on our kitchen shelf. However it's great. The history, and background to well known foods is fascinating as is Heston's take on how to construct them. Don't be under any illusion though, it's much more a 'reader'... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Gordon Ramsay's Playing with Fire from Harper Price: £4.39 Customer Review: Having just read Marco Pierre White's superb autobiography (Devil in the Kitchen)I thought it would be interesting to read GR's as a cross reference. The piece on the back was misleading. It inferred that this was a book that had soul/intimacy and insight. How far from the truth that is! GR seems to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetite from Quadrille Publishing Ltd Price: £7.00 Customer Review: Not a great book. Note the apostophe in the title - this is Gordon Ramsey branded, but he only wrote the intro. The recepies are by his trusty side-kick Sarge. The recepies themselves are all pretty simple, basic stuff - not what you would hope (or expect) from Gordon Ramsey. Save... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Big Fat Duck Cookbook from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £60.00 Customer Review: Well, no it ain't cheap - and neither is popping in for a meal at the Fat Duck...but how could it be? The ultimate in luxury will always come at a price and let no one be under any illusions: this is no mere recipe book. It is the very soul of Heston Blumenthal in literary form. The... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Tom Aikens Cooking from Ebury Press Price: £16.25 Customer Review: This cookbook manages to balance our expectations of a Michelin starred chef and the actual capability of most readers. I know that there are a lot of books out there by Michelin star chefs (normally debut books) which attempt to give an insight into the delicate nature of Michelin starred cooking.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
