About

Godfather of British cuisine, Marco Pierre White, has released a new cookbook, Essentially Marco, furnishing 'home cooks' with ideas and inspiration, rather than demanding culinary techniques. Recently launched in the UAE, White's book takes a step back from the haute cuisine that saw him make a name for himself, and draws on generous food made for sharing around the dining table. In this essential cookbook, Marco Pierre White removes all the complications of cooking to deliver clear-cut, fuss-free recipes for comfort food favourites and restaurant classics. Sharing his unique know-how, culinary wisdom and heaps of cooking tricks and tips, Marco serves a feast of easy-to-make dishes, stripping away the time-consuming elements of professional cooking. With stunning food photography by Chris Terry, Essentially Marco is divided into four sections: starters, fish, meat and puddings. There are recipes for every palate and occasion, whether it’s the celebratory roast, the family meal on a summer’s day, a romantic supper for two, or a hearty, warming dish for a wintry night.
