The best Cookery Book ever written

Twenty years ago there didn't seem to be a rush to get the book out, or indeed the follow up as soon as a chef did a television appearance. Consequently you'll find this book carefully measured and thoroughly thought through, barely a superflous word in the entire book. The result is a road map of exquisite taste for life and I will never be without mine even though at 20 years old, it's falling apart from constant reference. Yes some of the recipe's are complex, it's not an everyday cookbook but the sublime results are worth it. Having said that, it is also a very simple book of irrefutable cooking truths. It's a joy to be educated by the master, now sadly retired, who not only tells you how but why. You couldn't do yourself a greater culinary service than to get a copy of this book and find the font that many a celebrity chef sprang from!
