There's no doubt that it's Pierre Koffmann, the three Michelin-starred chef, who is the granddaddy of French cuisine in Britain. Now celebrating 50 years in the business, the self-effacing Pierre has been coaxed out of the kitchen just long enough to write this superlative collection of his classic recipes. Ranging as you would expect from Entees to Desserts, and everything in between, Classic Koffmann is a worthy successor to Pierre's Memories of Gascony, which earned him the prestigious Glenfiddich Award in 1990. As if its collection of over 100 star recipes from the master chef wasn't enough, Classic Koffmann is also beautifully illustrated with photography by master photographer, David Loftus. What's more, having been described as 'the chef of chefs' and 'the chef all other chefs look up to', it's no surprise that many of his proteges, the likes of Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsey, Bruno Loubet, Tom Aikens, William Curley, Helena Puolakka, Tom Kitchin, Eric Chavot, Paul Rhodes have declared themselves 'honoured' to contribute to this epoch-making book. This younger generation of chefs, who are all culinary luminaries in their own right, have added their own special stories of their training with Pierre, the insights they gained from him and, of course, their paeans of praise for the man who set them on their path in the world of cooking. Classic Koffmann offers a masterclass in all that's best in the French culinary tradition and will most certainly be the must-have cookery book of the season.

'It's timeless... You'd have a wonderful year - and learn a lot - if you just decided to cook your way through this.' -- Diana Henry Daily Telegraph Best Books of 2016 - 'The life's work of OFM's 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award winner, a celebration of an extraordinary 50 years in the kitchen. Here are signature dishes from perhaps the most influential chef in the country, with insights from his proteges.' The Observer 'You won't get another man like Koffmann. He walked in and the kitchen went silent. He was completely and utterly in control of everything he did. The things he executed to get flavours out of ingredients were incredible - he made me fall in love with cooking.' -- Tom Kitchin City AM
Arriving in Britain in 1970 and expecting to stay only a few months, PIERRE KOFFMANN is still here. Work at Le Gavroche led to his appointment as Head Chef at The Waterside Inn, where he helped the Roux brothers achieve two Michelin stars. In 1977 Pierre opened La Tante Claire in Chelsea, where he introduced Londoners to the Gascon cooking taught to him by his grandmother, Camille. This venture won him three Michelin stars. Pierre's next move was to The Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge where, after a brief absence, he returned in 2009. True to his roots, Pierre continues to serve the classic provincial French food that has become his hallmark.
这本书的封面设计透露着一种内敛的奢华,没有过度张扬的色彩,而是用经典的字体和沉稳的色调定下了全书的基调。这种低调恰恰说明了内容的自信——好的烹饪不需要花哨的包装来吸引眼球。我尤其期待能在书中找到关于“时间管理”和“团队协作”方面的隐性知识。在米其林三星的厨房里,效率和精准度是生存法则,而这些软技能往往比具体的菜谱更难从书本上习得。如果Koffmann能够通过他的文字,将他对于厨房节奏的把控、对于原料的预处理策略等方面的经验传递出来,那么这本书就超越了一般的食谱范畴,成为了一本关于“如何运营一个顶级厨房”的管理学教材。这种全方位的学习体验,才是我购买一本重量级烹饪书籍的真正目的。
评分翻开扉页,那份扑面而来的“正统感”是毋庸置疑的。这绝非那种迎合大众口味、迎合快节奏生活的速成指南。它所需要的,是食谱操作者拥有一定的烹饪经验和对复杂流程的接受能力。我预感书中的许多步骤都需要极高的专注力和时间投入,这恰恰体现了高级料理的本质——对过程的尊重。我个人对那些涉及到酱汁乳化、澄清高汤这类技术难点的描述非常感兴趣,因为这些环节是家庭厨房最难复制,也是最容易失败的地方。如果作者能用清晰易懂的语言,将这些“幕后魔法”的原理剖析透彻,那么这本书的实用性和教育意义就达到了极致。它不是让你快速做出一顿饭,而是让你学会一套严谨的烹饪体系,这才是真正有分量的烹饪书籍应有的面貌。
评分坦白说,我更看重的是作者对于食材本味的挖掘和呈现方式。现代烹饪似乎总在追求新奇和颠覆,但我更欣赏那些能够通过精湛技艺,让普通食材焕发出惊人光彩的大师。Koffmann这个名字本身就带着一种对传统英式和法式烹饪的深刻烙印,这让我对书中对季节性食材的运用充满了期待。我希望看到他是如何处理那些看似简单却极考验功力的元素,比如完美的烤蔬菜,或者仅仅是用黄油和香草调味的鱼肉。这种对基础的回归和深耕,往往比那些堆砌昂贵原料的“炫技”菜肴更难能可贵。这本书的厚度让我确信,它不会轻易放过任何一个环节,从源头采购到最后的摆盘,都应该有其独到的见解和故事。这是一种对“匠人精神”的致敬,也是对读者求知欲的最好回应。
评分这本厚重的书拿到手里,首先吸引我的是它那散发着油墨香气的沉甸甸的质感,仿佛能触摸到法国顶级厨房里的热度和压力。我一直对那些将烹饪提升到艺术境界的大师们充满敬畏,而Pierre Koffmann无疑是其中的一位旗帜性人物。虽然我尚未深入品读每一个章节,但光是翻阅目录和那些精美的图片布局,就足以让我感受到一种扑面而来的专业气息和对食材近乎苛刻的尊重。这不仅仅是一本食谱汇编,更像是一份沉淀了数十年心血的烹饪哲学宣言。我特别期待看到他对传统法餐的理解与创新,那种如何在恪守经典的同时,又能注入个人灵魂的微妙平衡,是所有严肃的烹饪爱好者梦寐以求的学习对象。从装帧的考究程度来看,出版方显然也深知这本书的价值,它注定是要被放在书架上,时不时翻阅、研习,而不是仅仅作为一本工具书被随意对待的。它预示着一场深入学习高级烹饪技艺的旅程,让人忍不住想要立刻卷起袖子,在自己的厨房里进行一场小小的“米其林式”的实验。
评分初次接触这类殿堂级厨师的作品,往往会有一种敬畏之余的不知所措感,仿佛站在一座巍峨的知识高峰下,不知道该从哪个角度开始攀登。这本书的排版设计非常讲究,它没有采用那种令人眼花缭乱的碎片化信息轰炸,而是提供了一种沉稳、线性的叙事结构。这种结构本身就暗示了一种需要耐心和时间去消化的内容深度。我猜想,书中的文字必然充满了对细节的执着,那种精确到克、精确到秒的指示,体现了顶级厨房运作的严密性。我尤其好奇那些被反复提及的“基底”和“高汤”的处理方法,因为在我看来,这两样东西是区分业余与专业的试金石。如果作者能将那些看似枯燥的基础工序讲得引人入胜,并且赋予其独特的见解,那么这本书的价值就远远超出了单纯的菜谱记录。它更像是一部关于“为什么”要这样做,而不是仅仅“怎么做”的深度解析,这对于真正想提升烹饪思维层次的人来说,是无价之宝。
