Simply Raymond: Recipes from Home

Autor Raymond Blanc
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 apr 2021

Apreciem modul în care Raymond Blanc reușește să dezbrace gastronomia franceză de aura sa intimidantă pentru a o aduce acolo unde îi este locul: în inima căminului. Stilul său inconfundabil, marcat de un entuziasm debordant și o precizie autodidactă, transformă acest volum într-o experiență profund personală. Născută dintr-o perioadă de izolare forțată, departe de rigoarea bucătăriilor de la Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Simply Raymond este mai mult decât o culegere de rețete; este un omagiu emoționant adus mamei sale, cea care i-a insuflat dragostea pentru simplitatea onestă a ingredientelor.

Fanii volumului Simple French Cookery vor recunoaște aceeași atenție la tehnicile fundamentale, aplicată însă aici unui context mult mai intim și relaxat. Dacă în lucrări precum The Lost Orchard sau Kew on a Plate with Raymond Blanc autorul se concentra pe botanică și proveniența sezonieră a ingredientelor, în Simply Raymond accentul cade pe confortul emoțional al mâncării. Ritmul lecturii este alert și vesel, textul fiind presărat cu exclamații ce par să emuleze accentul său francez jucăuș, oferind instrucțiuni care te fac să zâmbești în timp ce amesteci în cratiță.

Notăm cu interes selecția de preparate care acoperă atât cinele rapide din timpul săptămânii, cât și ocaziile speciale. De la o supă de ceapă albă catifelată la o Tartiflette bogată sau un Cassoulet rapid de cod, rețetele sunt construite pentru a fi realizate cu ustensile de bază, fără a sacrifica profunzimea gustului. Este o tranziție frumoasă de la precizia chirurgicală din Kitchen Secrets către o abordare bazată pe instinct și bucuria pură de a găti pentru cei dragi.

Despre autor

Raymond Blanc OBE este o figură legendară a gastronomiei mondiale, fiind proprietarul celebrului hotel-restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons din Oxfordshire, care deține două stele Michelin de peste trei decenii. Un aspect remarcabil al carierei sale este faptul că este complet autodidact, reușind totuși să formeze nume uriașe ale bucătăriei contemporane, precum Marco Pierre White sau Heston Blumenthal. Stilul său este o fuziune între rigoarea franceză și respectul profund pentru ingredientele de sezon, teme explorate pe larg și în seriile sale documentare realizate în colaborare cu Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.


Descriere

'Of the many cookery books that I have written, this one has the most extraordinary story,' says Raymond Blanc. His long-held plan to write a simple cookbook - inspired by his mother, Maman Blanc - began months before the Covid pandemic hit.

Suddenly everything changed, and Raymond, like the rest of the world, struggled to find a way through lockdown. At home, and isolated from his family - as well as his army of chefs at the world-renowned two-star Michelin restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and his Brasserie Blanc restaurants - Raymond cooked and cooked. He opted for the simple dishes that evoked the happy memories, provided the connection to those he could not be with. He focused on recipes that were neither a challenge nor fussy. They required ingredients that were easily-available and needed only basic kitchen equipment. The result is Simply Raymond. It is a collection of his favourite home-cooked recipes - the dishes that mean the most to him; the ones that connect family and friends, and dishes that took him on stove-side travels to other parts of the world.

Dish by dish, Simply Raymond presents an irresistible feast. This is cooking from the heart, and here you'll find must-make dishes to add to your weekly repertoire, as well as others for special occasions.

There is also a profound poignancy to this book. Shortly before Raymond finished writing it, his mother sadly passed away. This book is a heartfelt tribute to her, created with passion and thoughtfulness. It is also a testament to the great pleasure derived from stepping into a kitchen, simply to cook simply for others. Something he has done all of his life.

Recipes include:

* Cod Cassoulet with Chorizo and Mixed Beans
* A Quick Ratatouille
* Cauliflower and Red Lentil Dhal
* White Onion Soup
* Beetroot Salad with Hot Smoked Salmon
* Salade Nicoise
* Tartiflette
* Strawberry and Mascarpone Tart


Recenzii

An irresistible new book inspired by his mother's cooking. . . Simple but delicious dishes
Delicious new cookbook
Beautifully, movingly written . . . It's beautiful, simple and delicious food . . . The book is outstanding - and I now love aubergines!

Inspired by his mother's cooking, the chef at Le Manoir spent lockdown writing this collection of uncomplicated family meals. There are, of course, plenty of French dishes . . . as well as British classics and recipes inspired by his travels.
Simply Raymond [is] a collection of his favourite home-cooked recipes . . . a heartfelt culinary tribute to his beloved late mother . . . A well-loved chef and writer, Raymond tells us why last year transformed his life forever. Heart-warming anecdotes about the food of his childhood come alongside some recipes from his newest book.
Full of wonderful recipes ... An absolute joy.
Filled with unfussy, simple and seasonal recipes, the book is tinged with his experience of pandemic life.
His mother, always a prominent figure in the Raymond Blanc story, is celebrated in the book, which is full of far less complicated recipes than might be expected from the Michelin-starred chef.
Raymond Blanc is a big personality on our TV screens and that comes across in his writing and recipes too ... Thanks to his new book, I've elevated my plebby taste in popcorn ...

Simply joyful
A simple delight.
Straightforward and accessible, the recipes in Simply Raymond provide much inspiration... There is a comforting familiarity about much of this collection... but the book is also full of twists and surprises. [It has] a noticeably French accent, but Blanc's love of global cuisine comes through...
[Raymond Blanc] writes like he speaks, with a French accent, and unsmotherable enthusiasm, so that sometimes the text erupts into excited exclamations - bubble bubble!, gentle gentle! They made me laugh out loud while I was cooking. The recipes are brilliant too: simple, but with cheffy touches that make all the difference.
