RAMSAY 3 STAR  by Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay has recently become almost more famous for his award-winning TV shows, "Kitchen Nightmares" and "The F Word", than for his expertise as an award-winning chef and restaurateur.

Getting right to the heart of why Gordon is such a celebrated chef, the first part of the book shows 50 classic Gordon Ramsay recipes presented as they would be in one of his restaurants. The second part of the book shows the dishes presented in a domestic situation with full recipes and step-by-step instructions to recreate them yourself.

Jamie at Home  by Jamie Oliver
This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavours all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly...my vegetable patch! I came to realise last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground. Inside, you'll find over 100 new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well!

The Devil in the Kitchen  by Marco Pierre White
When Marco Pierre White's mother died when he was just six years old, it transformed his life. Soon, his father was urging him to earn his own keep and by sixteen he was working in his first restaurant. White went on to learn from some of the best chefs in the country, such as Albert Roux, Raymond Blanc and Pierre Koffmann. He survived the intense pressure of hundred-hour weeks in the heat of the kitchen, developed his own style, and then struck out on his own. At Harveys in Wandsworth, which he opened in 1987, he developed a reputation as a stunning cook and a rock 'n' roll sex god of the kitchen. But he was also a man who might throw you out of his restaurant, and his temper was legendary, as younger chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Heston

Ducasse  by Alain Ducasse and Linda Dannenberg
Ducasse: Flavors of France documents, in more than one hundred lavishly photographed recipes, the influences - Mediterranean, Provencal, and classical French - that permeate his extraordinary cuisine. Many of the recipes are simple, others complex, but all can be perfectly accomplished with a little time and patience. Ducasse uses as much of each ingredient as he can - the skins, shells, baking juices, pan drippings, heads and cooking broth. In some dishes, different preparations of the same ingredient each reveal an individual aspect of its flavour - sliced raw artichokes, braised whole artichokes, and paper-thin slices of fried artichoke. At the core is clarity of taste, precision in execution, and respect for the food itself.
