- 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 puts together recipes or tips which are speedy and life saving in situations that you could imagine you would need a quick resolution like a dinner party you're cooking for with people who's opinions matter to you. I have nabbed this ... Read More:

- 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.

The real reason I was inspired to write this review is because I buy about a book a week on average and I depend on reviews. I think I may have only ever felt compelled to review one book before this. This morning I got up and have been requested by my brother and mum to bake cookies...so I got up this morning and cooked the cookies from this book and the chocolate cake....wow...really, truly, simple, foolproof recipes!!! Truly foolproof...Marcus explains why things need to be done, how things can go wrong and importantly what to do if they do.

- perfection made easy!
Marcus wearing is Gordon Ramsays Heir for a reason! He has learnt much from the master and et created his own style that is eveident in his cooking.

Unlike Hestons 'perfection... science rubbihs' this book is classic dishes you might cook ever day at home but with tips on how to achieve exceptional results ...without adding alba truffles and caviar! Simple steps like how to make soup velvety spooth or achieve a golden crust on scallops and how to cook a really suptous custard tart ! delicious! There is no pro chef michelin star stuff just practical tips on good cooking. A must for any passionate cook

- 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.

Rating:

- Excellent Cookbook
This is very good cook book, to the "serious foodie reviewer" (always worries me when people call themselves that) the egg poaching is not a production line, as in the technique shown you do one at a time , so just stop when you have done enough!
The hints and tips throughout are excellent and give that extra info from a great chef, which you do not normally get in a cookbook, which helps extend your skills.
