11.Raymond Blanc's Foolproof French Cookery by: Raymond Blanc

Books : Raymond Blanc's Foolproof French Cookery
This book is one of a series of "foolproof" cookery guides, and it reads like it. Nice pictures and instructions making great classic French recipes fairly easy to follow. But at times it feels a little like it has been written to spec.

The cookbooks that inspire me, that I constantly refer back to, are ones which have an indefinable passion to them. Although it's obvious from this book that Raymond Blanc loves his food, it feels a little like he's writing the book just because he's been contracted to, not because he has an uncontrollable urge to teach the world about great cooking.

The description above probably sounds a little over-negative. There is nothing inherently wrong with this book, it just doesn't set me on fire. ... Read More:

Books : Cooking in Ten Minutes: Or the Adaptation of Cooking to the Rhythm of Our Time
I am training myself in the dark art of cookery, given that my family will shortly be leaving the country for a little while.

At the beginning of today, I couldn't cook to save my life. On receiving the book, I relished my visit to Tesco, and I managed to create an entrecote fillet steak dressed with sauce bearnaise and accompanied by mushrooms a la creme. For dessert, I made sauteed banana fritters with cinnamon.

Total cost production: around £3.
Total time of production: around 12 minutes from raw ingredients to the delicious end result.

I cannot rate this book highly enough. My confidence in my ability to cook has skyrocketed from zero to hero in the space of ONE day.

Books : Cooking for Friends
First of all remember that Ray White isn't Delia, he quite rightly assumes you know how to boil water without burning it and that you don't start planning a dinner party based on whats in the fridge. Secondly, read the recipes all the way through, especially the instructions, he has a nasty habit of throwing in the odd "place in fridge for 24 hours" about half way down in the third paragraph, not much good when your guests have already hit the road. And finally - enjoy it, yes it can be complicated, long winded and require some stretching of the old "cullinary skills" but the results are divine (often on the first attempt too!). Very few ever have the chance, or budget, to have RB cook for them, this is the next best thing and guaranteed to win brownie points ... Read More:

I recently met Raymond and got my book signed by him! But getting back to the actual book, it's one of the best recipe books I've seen, it's not something you can just whip up for a quick meal, it's all very formal food, but very nice!!!
