As soon as i picked this book up and turnt that first page i was hooked, i couldn't put it down i was up until around 4 in the morning until i had read cover to cover. It is so well worded and put together it grabs hold of you and drags you in, its like you are there, you share his feelings. Some parts made me cry so much i had to stop reading until i got myself together. I definately recommend this read. I can't wait to get playing with fire.

Quite simply the most delicious culinary book I have seen or read in ages. The photography is sublime, the content supreme and the whole read a pleasure. If the photography doesn't have you reaching for the pots and pans, nothing will. However the pleasure is complete when attempting the recipes which are well laid out, easy to follow and really make one feel that even a mere amateur, can, with guts and determination achieve culinary perfection by following the pages. Having read Gordon's biographies and been a keen follower of his tv shows (both good and bad), this motor mouthed chef definitely has something unique aside from his distinctly flowery language. Determination, skill beyond compare and the ability to instill in others, the same driving force ... Read More:

This massive tome has a wealth of information about everything to do with the meat we buy and eat. The pictures of what happens in abatoirs are salutary and remind one that to eat meat is a privilege. It's much more than a recipe book: more an instruction manual about which cuts to choose and how to cook them.

The author is convincing in his discussion of the ethical issues connected with different types of farming and the necessity to use every part of a carcass if an animal has been reared in a humane way. But it's far from being a polemical book: one can almost smell the aroma as he describes meat sizzling and browning and there are loads of inviting recipes that inspire one to get in the kitchen.

There's also a long list ... Read More:

Oh, at last, Michel's definitive text on pastry. And that's just what it is.

I picked this up from a friend and went out to buy the essential ingredients for the basic curries - cumin, fennel, mustard seeds, tamarind, cardomom, cinammon etc...and low and behold i have been able to create some lovely authentic curries - just like you get the curry house!!!

what amazed me most was how simple it was and also how cheap it is to eat indian food - once you have a collection of the basic ingredients all you need is bit of meat, veg, stock or coconut milk - obviously there are some recepies that require a few more things buying from the shop but often you can omit the odd ingredient and still get a great tasting dish.

There is a great recipie for a pakistani basic curry sauce which is so chepa and easy to make - i just make a load ... Read More:

Loved the accompanying TV series but very disappointed with this book.

I'm not anti-Jamie by any stretch and still regularly borrow from earlier volumes but having had this book since it came out a couple of years ago I've not used a single recipe. If you live somewhere with a decent deli and can obtain the necessary ingredients then maybe this is for you but for someone like me, living in a chav town with nothing but large supermarkets, there's little on offer which could easily be replicated.

Yes, it's pleasant visually, but I buy recipe books in order to cook from them and in that respect this book was money wasted. At he's produced better since with the excellent Jamie At Home.
