Customer Reviews

A magical book
This is the type of book you want to tell people about. Trotters passion for cuisine jumps out of every page. The squab terrine is worth buying this book for alone. And how many other books cover squab so well.

If you want a cook book for impressing friends when they are round to dine then this is the book.

The only problem I have with this book is that everytime I thumb through it I realise I am not at Charlie Trotters restaurant.

Utterly dazzling
"Visionary" is not a word I tend to use for chefs, but there is no other term for Trotter's achievements. What boggles the mind isn't the full recipes themselves, necessarily (although they are quite mindblowing), but the little discoveries throughout, like poaching garlic in milk before roasting (!). Be warned: committing to preparing any one of these recipes is opening a VERY LARGE can of worms. Be warned further: it's definitely worth it.

incredible chef and book
this book is an incredible source for techniquues and motivation. Trotter is of cousre a perfectionist and his passion for cooking is seen through this book. Each component is carefully balanced so that a full and maximum flavor is achieved. Also, don't be afraid of the book, you don't have to follow each recipe step by step-let it inspire you.
