Book Reviews of White Heat
Book Review: Kitchen Daimon
Summary: 3 Stars
Marco Pierre White is the Bad Boy of the culinary world. He mentored Mario Batali Molto Italiano: 327 Simple Italian Recipes to Cook at Home as well as Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Heaven He is a combative, troubled man. Once a handsome young chef (and the youngest to receive Michelin stars),he now has a bedraggled persona. The book's cover advertises him as "The Star of NBC's Chopping Block"--an ill-fated show that lasted only 3 episodes, with the remainder broadcasted on the internet. He came across as a pompous,grouchy,greasy-haired man,unkempt and contemptible towards those who lost. Unlike other reality show hosts/judges,he's even unsympathetic towards those who come in second-place. Of the runners-up on "Chopping Block",he intones "They leave... with nothing." He makes Simon Cowell and Gordon Ramsay look helpful,compassionate,humane.
"White Heat",on the other hand,shows a different side. It shows White's passion for cooking. It's more of a coffee table book than a cookbook. He shows his philosophy of cooking--simplicity. As he pontificated on the NBC show,"Let Mother Nature inspire you." The recipes are at once simple and complex. They're cooking to impress, and the glamorous pictures make it comparable to Top Chef Top Chef: The Cookbook, Revised Edition: Original Interviews and Recipes from Bravo's hit show
"White Heat" glimmers, but gives little heat. The food looks good--but could one cook it? Still,it is a rightly recognized classic.
