This review is from: Formulas for Flavour: How to Cook Restaurant Dishes at Home (Hardcover)
I have gone thru this cook book more than any other cook book. I think this is absolutely stunning in many ways. It gives you dishes with pretty much classic taste combinations but then adds flavours in different unusual places ex. crab risotto with avocado sorbet. Althought this shows very clearly how dishes are put together I think a professional chef is the one who still gets most out of this book. He also has special section about food chemistry. This book ROCKS BIG TIME. Happily waiting for the next book to come out...

A good path to gourmet cooking at home,

This review is from: Formulas for Flavour (Conran Octopus Interiors S.) (Paperback)
I've tried all the recipes in this book and...WOW what a food paradise the author creates in your home. Almost every recipe is great (I just had a neutral feeling about a few of them) and they often make use of unconventional methods of cooking or combining ingredients (e.g. onion ice cream). However, how strange that may sound, the combinations are actually really nice and innovative. The only thing you need to remember is that you'll have to spend much more time with these recipes than with the traditional "scrambled eggs recipes". But the sensation to your palate will be heavenly!

Classical and contemporary at the same time, this is one of the most thorough cookbooks i own. Would suit both the home cook and professionals. Great source of inspiration
