Celebrated for its design and depth, it’s a must-have for food professionals and enthusiasts seeking inspiration beyond the kitchen. ## Description Once in a blue moon a book is published that changes irrevocably the face of things. White Heat is one such book. Since it was originally produced in 1990, it has gone on to become one of the most enduring classic cookbooks of our time. With its unique blend of outspoken opinion, recipes and dramatic photographs by the late legendary photographer Bob Carlos Clarke, White Heat captures the magic and spirit of Marco Pierre White in the heat of his kitchen. This 25th anniversary edition features brand new material, including photographs from the late Bob Carlos Clarke and contributions from James Steen, Lindsey Carlos Clarke and a host of high-profile chefs: Jason Atherton, Sat Bains, Mario Batali, Raymond Blanc, Anthony Bourdain, Adam Byatt, David Chang, Phil Howard, Tom Kerridge, Paul Kitching, Pierre Koffmann, Gordon Ramsay and Jock Zonfrillo. Review: A very enjoyable read, beautifully designed, and more useful than the author thinks it will be! - Books by chefs are often of limited practical value in the home kitchen. Quite simply, neither their methods, available ingredients, nor dishes translate well to the home environment without considerable modification - a task best left to those with the time and expertise to do it reliably - see, for example, Rory O'Connell's remarkable "Master it". White Heat 25 - credited to Marco, but as much about him as by him - is a glorious addition to anybody's cookbook collection. One of the most influential chefs from the UK, Marco is also one of the most interesting from a food and personal point of view - both aspects covered admirably here. There are a lot of photographs in this book, black and white in the new bits - the autobiographical Introduction and the Epilogue; and colour in the recipes from the original White Heat. To say the autobiography is told largely with a mixture of quotes and very well-chosen photographs is not a great exaggeration and it works. And the quotes are not the usual ludicrous cheffy platitudes about 'respecting' your mashed potato. When a gifted chef says "At the end of the day, it's just food, isn't it? Just food", foodies beware - he's looking at you! The recipe section is beautiful to look at, and a delight to read. I suppose some people will make these things at home, straight from the book - it will be possible but a lot of work for varying reward. The joy of these recipes, for me, is in the reading, the appreciation of their creation, and the ideas on flavours, textures, and presentation that they contain. Each of the main recipes has a fine colour picture and a couple of comments - some of which are very funny - others just little lessons or asides, which you can take or leave - generally entertaining rather than useful. The last part of the recipe section is Basics - no pictures. These recipes and instructions are useful to everyone, even if you think you know them. The final section of the book Epilogue is completely new and consists of many more black and white photographs and comments from a Who's Who of chefs with reason to value either being directly involved with Marco or heavily influenced by the original edition of White Heat - instructive and entertaining. The only thing I dislike about this book is that it won't fit in any of my bookshelves - it is very high - to allow maximum size for the photographs. It is clearly designed as a book to be read rather than used in the kitchen - or simply a very impressive coffee table item. I don't care about the intention. It will work its way into my kitchen time and again - if only as a useful reference when I'm trying to do something new myself. Enjoy! Review: Best book ever! - This is the most interesting and inspiring book. It’s full of amazing images by Bob Carlos-Clarke and lots of interesting tales by other inspired chefs. A totally must have collectable book! ## Features - White Heat 25: 25th anniversary edition - Product type: ABIS BOOK ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 11,405 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 8 in Gourmet Food & Drink 66 in Restaurant Cookbooks 1,055 in Home & Garden (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,168 Reviews | ## Images ![White Heat 25: 25th anniversary edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1j8I8zsxsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very enjoyable read, beautifully designed, and more useful than the author thinks it will be! *by T***T on 30 May 2016* Books by chefs are often of limited practical value in the home kitchen.
