The culinary autobiography of Britain’s best-loved chef. Raymond Blanc knows more about food and cooking than pretty much anyone else. His cooking has been described as an extraordinary process of creativity, subtlety, indeed genius. His life and career to date have been utterly dedicated to the search for culinary perfection. Such is his reputation that his restaurant near Oxford, Le Manoir, was awarded two Michelin stars even before it opened in 1984. Le Manoir has maintained extraordinary levels of excellence for over two decades and remains a premier restaurant destination. He has taught many of Britain’s most successful chefs, including Marco Pierre White and Heston Blumenthal. Now, for the first time, Raymond is going to share the fruits of all that hard work and experimentation, and reveal the secrets of his gastronomy. Woven around stories from his years at the sharp end of the food business are his thoughts about where food is going and a passionate appeal for sustainable cuisine. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in food and cooking, this is the definitive book on the cooking arts by a culinary genius.

Speedy, gourmet, healthy meals that suit your lifestyle may seem too good to be true, yet Raymond Blanc's award-winning cooking has always been led by light, unmasked flavours. His dishes at the famed Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons use fresh, organic and often home-grown ingredients, crammed with nutritional goodness. He has always delighted in removing the heaviness of traditional dishes to reveal tastes and textures which sing -- with a largely French accent. Nevertheless, he is one of the few master chefs who has successfully, and with much thought, incorporated valuable lessons from cultures outside his own. A self-taught perfectionist, Raymond is inspired by the ingredients themselves, by intuition and authenticity. He believes that cooking healthy food with real flavours is an instinctive knowledge within us all -- and one that should be shared with everyone. In this book, he offers straightforward, beautiful recipes based on sound, up-to-date nutritional ideas, which are reassuringly quick to prepare. Working with Dr Jean Monro, a renowned consultant physician, Raymond outlines the principles of eating our way to excellent health, making this essential knowledge entertaining and 'easy to digest'. Celebrating the richest, purest foods (and wines), Raymond rewrites old perceptions of bland, sparse 'health food', offering wholesome food that is as sensual as one would expect from a Blanc dish, only surprisingly more vite.
