About this title

Synopsis:

Marco Pierre White has risen like a shooting star in the firmament of HAUTE CUISINE. Since he opened Harvey's restaurant in south-west London 1987, he has become the most talked-about cook in Britain, the youngest man ever to win the coverted second Michelin 'rosette', and almost equally renowned for the upheavals in his private life. In 1992 he opened The Canteen in Chelsea Harbour, and in autumn 1993 opened The Restaurant in Knightsbridge, which have just won one and two stars respectively in the Michelin ratings. Yet behind they hype, as this book reveals, there is a professional, dedicated chef of astonishing talent. His mastery is based on the solid foundations of French classical cuisine, but it is informed by a modern feeling for the importance of ingredients of the highest quality and freshness, by a receptivity to influences from around the world, by exquisite simplicity and profound originality. Above all, the book aims to make accessible the secrets of his success to all amateur cooks, and is full of brilliant tips based on his imcomparable feeling for the potential in natural foods from land and sea.
