A Taste Of Relais & Chateaux
Relais & Châteaux – a name synonymous with fine independent hotels and gourmet restaurants – has produced a sumptuous feast of recipes, bringing together the varied styles and techniques of some of the UK and Ireland’s finest chefs. This cookbook, a culinary ‘first’, has been sponsored by Yes Chef! Magazine, part of Network Publishing Ltd., created by publishing duo Peter and Shirley Marshall. The book comprises nearly 100 recipes from 29 different establishments.
Recipes range from the simple ‘Lemon Pudding’ from Gravetye Manor, through to the more complex ‘Roast Loin of Dorset Lamb and Braised Shoulder Shepherd’s Pie’ from Summer Lodge. And for the really ambitious wanting to be technically challenged, Heston Blumenthal’s famous ‘Sound of the Sea’ from the Fat Duck: ideally to be eaten while listening to the sound of waves on one’s iPod.
Other chefs who have contributed to the book include: Raymond Blanc (Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons); Alain Roux (The Waterside Inn), John Campbell (The Vineyard at Stockcross) and Michael Caines (Gidleigh Park), each of whom has been awarded ‘Grand Chef’ status by Relais & Châteaux. All of the chefs featured have an enviable collection of Michelin stars, AA Rosettes and other industry accolades between them.
Michel Roux, a key creative influence on this project, says “The chefs featured within this unique book are all members of the special family of Relais & Châteaux, and have a great passion for their craft. I am proud to have been instrumental in bringing them together, to work on this exceptional compilation of delicious, memorable dishes, through which they share with us their individual creativity and talent. I hope their recipes will inspire”.
Each dish is individually photographed by Myburgh du Plessis, and accompanied by a wine suggestion from Harrison Vintners. It is sure to become a popular souvenir of any stay at one of the featured hotels.
The book is available from Amazon.co.uk
priced at £28 and is available online at www.yeschefmagazine.com. It is also available at Relais & Châteaux properties, the Maison des Relais & Châteaux in Knightsbridge and exclusively in Harvey Nichols nationwide.
