Revealing the favourite menus they love to cook for family and friends, they place the emphasis on delicious, straightforward recipes using ingredients and techniques familiar to the home cook.An interview with each chef offers a fascinating insight into everything from their favourite piece of cooking kit to what they feed their children. With 144 recipes – 48 starters, 48 main courses and 48 desserts – there is something to suit every mood and every capability level. A sample menu might feature Gary Rhode’s starter of Toasted Tomato Salad with Melting Gorgonzola and Rocket Leaves or Delia Smith’s Baked Eggs in Wild Mushroom Tartlet. For a meaty main course there is Nigella Lawson’s Shin of Beef Stew with Pasta or Gordon Ramsay’s Calves’ Liver with Sweet and Sour Mushroom and Rocket Marmalade. At-home desserts include Jamie Oliver’s Raspberry and Blackberry Meringue with Hazelnuts, Caramel and Chantilly Cream, and Michel Roux’s White Peaches Baked with Honey and Lavender.”CONTRIBUTORS: Herbert Berger, Vineet Bhatia, Raymond Blanc, Heston Blumenthal, Daniel Boulud, Steven Doherty, Alain Ducasse, Anton Edelmann, Mark Edwards, Richard Ekkebus, Chris Galvin, Rose Gray &amp; Ruth Rogers, Angela Hartnett, Shaun Hill, Hywel Jones, Thomas Keller, Gray Kunz, Nigella Lawson, Susur Lee, Giogio Locatelli, Grant MacPherson, Nobu Matsuhisa, Andy McLeish, Matt Moran, Anton Mosimann, David Nicholls, Jaimie Oliver, Neil Perry, Wolfgang Puck, Gordon Ramsay, Gary Rhodes, Michel Richard, Alain Roux, Albert Roux, Michel Roux, Michel Roux Jr, Mark Sergeant, Julian Serrano, Delia Smith, Chris Staines, Rick Stein, Nori Sugie, Charlie Trotter, Brian Turner, Jean-George Vongerichten, Marcus Waring, John Williams, Eric Ziebold.
