All 20 episodes from the ITV culinary series in which chef James
Martin journeys through France. Traveling in a classic Citroen 2CV,
which belonged to the late chef Keith Floyd, James embarks upon a
French adventure as he visits the locations that influenced his
career, stopping to sample some of the best local dishes and
produce along the way.
In 2015 Pierre Gagnaire, whose 11 restaurants worldwide boast two
and three Michelin stars, was voted 'Best Chef in the World' by his
peers and 2016 sees him mark 50 dazzlingly creative and successful
years in the kitchen. To celebrate this outstanding career Grub
Street is delighted to be publishing his new title La Cuisine des 5
Saisons in English. This beautiful book is about his recipes and
his work as a chef and for the first time makes his dishes
accessible for home cooks. Why is it called Five Seasons? Five
seasons because for chef Gagnaire there are five not four seasons;
Spring, he says must be divided into two seasons because you don't
have the same produce in March and in June. Thus the recipes in
this book follow the rhythm of the seasons and their bounty. In
each chapter there are six menus with starter, main dish and
dessert. The recipes come from Pierre Gagnaire culinary's repertory
and these are the recipes which made him famous. Through the
recipes one can see the strong worldwide influence in Pierre
Gagnaire's cuisine, cooking with every kind of ingredient. His
eponymous restaurant at 6 rue Balzac in Paris (in the 8th
arrondissement) specialises in modern French cuisine, and has
garnered three Michelin stars. He is an iconoclastic chef at the
forefront of the fusion cuisine movement by introducing jarring
juxtapositions of flavours, tastes, textures, and ingredients. On
his website he gives his mission statement as 'facing tomorrow but
respectful of yesterday'. Gagnaire is also Head Chef of Sketch in
London. In 2005 both restaurants were ranked in the S. Pellegrino
World's 50 Best Restaurants by industry magazine Restaurant, with
Pierre Gagnaire ranking third for three consecutive years (2006,
2007, and 2008). In December 2009, Gagnaire made his United States
debut with Twist, a new flagship restaurant at the Mandarin
Oriental in Las Vegas, which has since received great critical
praise and a Forbes Five-Star Award. He now also has restaurants in
Hong Kong, Seoul, Dubai, Tokyo, Berlin, and Moscow.
