Daniel Galmiche has always been a chef that I have admired. He has worked in all the right
places and is very much up there in chef rankings. Everyone knows him and most have his
book, French Brasserie Cookbook, which is one of my favourites. If Cafe St Honore was to
write a cookbook, which maybe one day we will, then lots of these classics would appear in
it, alongside lots of other very well known St Honore faves with a Scottish slant. This is a
great book though, very good recipes, nice and simple dishes, easy to follow, great photos,
what else do you need in a cookery book. If you want to open a French restaurant and need
some ideas, buy this book immediately. But equally, as James Martin says, “ if you want to
know how to cook great food, then classic French cookery is where you should start “ Even
Heston Blumenthal says “ This book is full of inspiring recipes that will immediately transportyou to a French brasserie in your own home “ praise indeed from a rock star Chef.
