Doing Without Delia

Michael Booth has had his fill of celebrity chefs and their `on the table in five minutes` recipes. He wants to learn how to cook properly, so he burns his cookery books and, together with his young family, heads for a new life in Paris – reasoning that, if anyone can be trusted to make food complicated, it`s the French. Embarking on the ultimate foodie`s fantasy, he enrols at the world`s most famous cooking school, Le Cordon Bleu, where wise and battle-scarred French chefs commence their transformation of him into a professional cook. Along the way Booth shares the insider tips and secret techniques of classical cuisine. His odyssey takes him from trauma to triumph, ending in the white-hot heat of the Michelin-starred kitchen of the greatest chef in France.
