A feast - By: Julie S Elder, 27 Apr 2003
I stumbled across this book, tempted by the fantastic illustrations by Richard Bramble, sufficient reason enough to buy it, without even thinking about the recipes! Richard spent five years painting with Michelin starred chefs, capturing both the atmosphere of their kitchens, & some of their signature dishes. The book features alll the major chefs of the last fifteen years, from Raymond Blanc & Gordon Ramsey to Ruth Rogers & Rose Gray of the River Cafe.The recipes are very varied - some quite complex - others easily cooked for an informal supper with friends.
Each section on a chef is proceed by a very interesting background section detailing their philosophy,and the path they took to reach success. The recipes are simply illustrated by Bramley, who manages to convey the essence of each dish as effectively as photography.

This is a book that will be as home on the coffee table as in the kitchen.It is quite literallly a feast for the senses!
