A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'The Extraordinary Cookbook' (Gates's first 'practical' recipe book after a handful of 'food literature' publications) is to 'take things you might normally do at home - steaks, bread and really staple things - and sprinkle a little magic over meals. For adults (or, at least, big kids), that might mean poaching salmon in the dishwasher or cooking kebabs on a car engine, or a 'ten-minute sashimi course'. For kids it means making the preparation of food into a tactile, here's-mud-in-your-eye (and flour in your hair) experience. His approach is, in a way, a groovier, more irreverent Heston Blumenthal's science-busting, sensation-mashing innovation. Instead of snail porridge there's pineapple with Space Dust. Forget bacon and egg ice cream, here's avocado and lime soup served in an ice bowl decorated with plastic animals. If his children can be persuaded to try a plate of charcuterie - kids love the salt he says - I can be a have-a-go kitchen hero, too. --The Times

'Something of a zany culinary magician, Gates takes you on a host of foodie adventures with dishes such as chocolate-roasted spare ribs and fish kebabs roasted on a car engine. Plus, there are ideas for quirky entertaining, such as crab and hammer parties that will blow away any post-Christmas cobwebs.' --Elle Decoration
