  With more than 30 years experience as a chef at the top of his profession Michel Roux has garnered a vast wealth of culinary knowledge and expertise. Over time his style of cooking has gradually evolved from the classic French cuisine of his Parisian apprenticeship to a lighter, healthier approach, more in keeping with contemporary tastes. Along the way, the impact of modern technology and the subtle influences of global travel have also made their mark. In Only the Best, Michel applies his tremendous talent to creating a compendium of essential culinary techniques whilst at the same time producing an innovative collection of over 130 recipes easily achievable at home. Stunning photographs clearly illustrate both the technique and the finished dish.
