Review

Best known for his TV cookery programmes, Gary Rhodes is also the owner and chef of two Michelin star restaurants and a proactive campaigner of British produce and cuisine. This is the first of two books where Gary takes the reader through the Spring and Summer seasons using the freshest of ingredients, those products which are at their peak of perfection. Freshly harvested fruit and vegetables, seasonal fish and meat are presented in novel, tasty recipes, gloriously illustrated with colourful photographs. Using fresh produce and highlighting their special taste, the recipes are easy to prepare involving few sauces, the freshness of the ingredients being paramount. Courgette tart, red pepper mousse and fresh herb gnocchi will whet vegetarian appetites while pot-roasted lamb, boiled ham hock and guinea fowl will get meat-lovers' taste buds flowing. Soft chocolate pudding, baked blue cheesecake and Cointreau champagne raspberries will sate those with a sweet tooth. Extra recipes for vegetable accompaniments complete the picture with to-die-for side dishes such as blood orange and chive sea kale, grilled honeyed aubergines and warm leeks with vegetable vinaigrette. Such is the standard of the food and recipes, Gary Rhodes ensures a superb dinner party or a tasty dejeuner a deux with the ease of preparation leaving the hostess plenty of time to enjoy herself with her guests.
