Tom
Aikens Cooking
by Tom Aikens
 Synopsis
From the day Tom Aikens burst on to the restaurant
scene, he has barely been out of the limelight. Awarded
two Michelin stars by the age of 26, he has consistently
been tipped as one of the hottest and most talented
chefs cooking today. Now comes this stylish and sophisticated
book, with 200 mouth-watering recipes, graded according
to difficulty. His starting point is everyday ingredients
- he believes in buying fresh, seasonal produce, and
gives guidance on how to choose the best and make the
most of them. Organising the book by type of food -
vegetable, meat, fish, fruit, bread, dairy - he creates
a variety of imaginative, dazzling recipes, some very
easy and achievable in minutes; others more sophisticated,
ideal for special occasions or when you are feeling
more adventurous. He shows how to take one basic ingredient
and produce a host of different dishes. The humble carrot,
for example, can be roasted with honey and cumin or
pickled to form the basis of a delicious salad, or pureed
with tarragon to supply a wonderful sauce for roast
cod. Sole can be baked in minutes on a sizzling hot
baking tray in the oven, or pan-fried and served with
balsamic glazed vegetables and pea puree. From gorgeous
grilled fennel with goat's cheese and black olive oil,
buttered peas with spring onions to lamb shank with
tomato confit and beans, there is something here for
everyone who loves good food. Inspiration, talent and
flashes of sheer genius shine off every page in this
book, destined to become a firm favourite with keen
cooks and food lovers everywhere.
This
Book Is AMAZING! (October 2006)
Reviewer: M Gutteridge
Before
I bought this book, I had only found out who Tom Aikens
was a few weeks before, but I have read the book back
to front and I can see why he is a Michelin star chef
twice. His style of cooking is like no other and most
of his recipes are amazing. He grades his recipes
from easy to challenging which really helps if you
only want to make an easy snack or you want to spend
a few hours in the kitchen creating a culinary masterpiece.
I can really see Tom AIkens becoming Britains top
chef in the next few years, and creating a chain of
exceptional world renowned restaurants. If you want
to learn how to cook like a pro, buy this book!
