Review
'Fernand Point, a man of my time and also way ahead. Someone I would have loved to have lunch with' Fergus Henderson, St. John Bar and Restaurant
'I believe Fernand Point is one of the last true gourmands of the twentieth century. His ruminations are extraordinary and thought-provoking -he has been an inspiration for legions of chefs. It was the first cookbook that opened my eyes and made me more conscious of the entire dining experience. It made me think of the guest, and the culture surrounding food and restaurants' Thomas Keller, author of 'The French Laundry Cookbook' and 'Bouchon'
'If someone were to take away all my cookbooks except for one, I would keep Fernand Point's 'Ma Gastronomie'. For me, his philosophy instilled what cuisine is all about: generosity and hugeness of heart. Point said that if you are not a generous person you cannot be in this field' Charlie Trotter, author of 'Charlie Trotter's' and 'Charlie Trotter Cooks at Home'
'From the book: Success is the sum of a lot of small things done correctly' Chef Joudie Kalla
'Before Point, cooking was just a job; after, it was a calling' - The New York Times. It's no wonder that Fernand Point is revered by modern chefs and Ma Gastronomie has a cult following ... the book chefs love to love is back in print ... a portrait of a man wholly devoted to the spirit of dining' Los Angeles Times
'Almost all of the recipes in 'Ma Gastronomie' are feasible for a single cook ... rather than the 'brigade de cuisine' usually found in the most refined French kitchens' - --More Intelligent Life (The Economist).
