Media Reviews
'Elegant French recipes, such as duck confit, lobster with garlic butter and pink praline tart, that should appeal to any cook'--SQUARE MEAL
'Roux's magnanimity - along with his passion for food and serious work ethic - shine through... the recipes in it are accessible, uncomplicated and wonderfully tempting'--METRO
'Michel Roux Jnr's autobiography-cum-cookbook is half food memoir, half French recipe collection and wholly engrossing. Roux's anecdotes provide a fascinating window on a life spent pioneering French haute cuisine as a member of the UK's defining culinary dynasty'--CATERER & HOTELKEEPER
