The
Best - Paul Merrett, Ben O'Donoghue & Silvana Franco
What
happens when three chefs all pit their wits against each other to
find the very best recipes?
'The
Best', the exciting new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO cookery series, introduced us to
three of the brightest new stars in the world of food - Paul Merrett
(Head Chef at The Greenhouse in Mayfair, who trained under Gary
Rhodes), Ben O'Donoghue (Head Chef at Monte's, a private members'
club in Knightsbridge, where Jamie Oliver is a consultant chef)
and Silvana Franco (food consultant, writer and stylist for many
well known celebrity chefs). The programme saw the three culinary
rivals, each with their own individual cookery styles, competing
to produce the best dish using the same main ingredient or theme.
Three food-loving tasters then gave the verdict on which of the
dishes was the best.
Now
all of the 60 fabulous recipes from the TV series are gathered here
in The Best, a new cookbook published by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide on 5 September,
price Β£14.99 hardback. The recipes reflect each chef's approaches
to cooking, and as Silvana says, 'Paul's dishes have the 'wow' factor,
Ben is innovative, using ingredients you may not have used before
and I cook food that will appeal to people who want to cook something
in a hurry.'
