at home with the worlds greatest chefs

[Gary Marshall]

if you're not as lucky as me to have a young urchin battle through the rain to deliver the papers for when i can be bothered to get up and read them, then might i suggest for the foodie with a voyeuristic slant todays telegraph?

50 top, and they are suprisingly top and world renown chefs in their home kitchens with a short recipe to.

even gagnaire's dog dresses up for the gig!

A very entertaining piece. Now that I have discovered that Gagnaire is a fellow gun dog owner, he has risen even further in my estimation.

Glad to see that Ramsay continues to emulate the career of his mentor Marco Pierre White. First there was the nude shot with the turbot that was oddly reminisent of Marco posing sans shirt with a shark, now we have him, cleaver in hand glaring at the camera. Anyone remember the Bob Carlos Clark press advert , taken around the time of the opening of The Canteen of MPW cleaver in hand, glaring at the camera? You'll find it here although you will have to sit through a slide slow of partially clad females to get to it.

Weimeraners are lovely dogs, and the pups look endlessly comical. I pine for a black labrador, but wouldn't want the stigma of being mistaken for an artillery officer.

Thanks for the heads-up on this piece, Gary. I don't normally take the Torygraph so it would have passed me by completely.

Anyone got a spare copy or know of where I could get hold of one?

[John Whiting]

An amusing issue, but a pale shadow of The Cook's Room: A Celebration of the Heart of the Home, London, Macdonald Illustrated, 1991. This magnificent photographic and textual exploration of kitchens all over the world was edited by the late Alan Davidson, with individual chapters by a galaxy of star cookery writers and historians, including Geraldene Holt, Terence Conran, Maria José Sevilla, Diana Kennedy, M.F.K. Fisher, Erizabeth Lambert Ortiz, Richard Hosking, Sri Owen and twenty-three other experts on the various countries and cuisines included. No celebrity chefs or costumed dogs, I'm afraid.

It was too good to stay in print but there are lots of used copies available through Amazon at very reasonable prices. If you want to preserve your copy of the Telegraph Mag as a graphic example of how far we've come in thirteen years, it's just the right size to slip inside the cover.

I thought the magazine did reasonably well in avoiding having all Jamie-types in there, and there's some serious non-celeb cooking/writing talent present.

I did think the dog was a bit OTT, but as I'm a Weimeraner fan they're forgiven.

Paul, PM me your address and I'll send you the copy that's floating about the chef's office at work.

Thanks John - I'll try and pick up a copy.

There is a definite food lover/dog owner correlation.

Pierre Gagnaire, Jeffery Steingarten, Fat Guy, Andy.....

Any others?
