Critics Review

An irresistible new book inspired by his mother’s cooking.

An irresistible new book inspired by his mother’s cooking… Simple but delicious dishes * Daily Mail *Delicious new cookbook * Daily Mail *

Beautifully, movingly written … It’s beautiful, simple and delicious food … The book is outstanding - and I now love aubergines!

* Claudia Winkleman, Radio 2 *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. * BBC Good Food Magazine *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. * Platinum *Full of wonderful recipes … An absolute joy. * Giles Coren, Times Radio *Filled with unfussy, simple and seasonal recipes, the book is tinged with his experience of pandemic life. * Independent *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. * Pascale Hughes, The i *

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 …

* Nikki Bedi, Saturday Live, Radio 4 *Simply joyful * Sunday Post *A simple delight. * The Times *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… – Andy Lynes * The Caterer *[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. – Reverend Richard Coles, vicar, broadcaster, author * Guardian *
