Full review
My husband bought this book for me, after we had watched the accompanying television series. I think he paid about £15 for it in Sussex Bookshops.
The first thing that struck me about this book is the beautiful photography. Without exception, the dishes that Gary features look absolutely mouthwatering - even the recipes that I don't like the sound of (like soft herring roes on toast) look tempting. But there again, Gary Rhodes is a perfectionist when it comes to presentation, so what else could we expect?
Most of the recipes are apparently designed for a dinner party, so there are no 'every day' receipes in this book. However, there are some real stunners for that special occasion.
The Grilled Asparagus with Champ Potato Sauce and Tarragon Oil makes a beautiful starter. It's simple to make, too, as the recipe is so easy to follow. We also tried the Roast Sea Bass with Glazed Crab Mashed Potatoes. It was a little bit fiddly but the end result was well worth the effort. The piece de resistance, as far as we were concerned, was the Bitter-sweet Strawberry Tart with Mascarpone Cheesecake Cream. It was absolutely delicious and would make a fine end to any meal.
So, all in all, I would say that this is a really good book to add to your cookery collection. It is very clearly written (if perhaps a little condescending at times), and easy to follow, and the photographs are simply superb!
Because I've recently had a baby, I haven't had too much time to try out any more recipes, but if the ones I have tried are anything to go by, this book will be a welcome addition to my kitchen book shelf for many years to come.
