I want to go there! June 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book as an accompaniment to another cook-book - to get free delivery. The so called main book has been shelved and although I haven't read this one from cover to cover (saving it, determined not to read all in a oner) I have already recommended it on a worldwide newsletter. Although the recipes are superb - I am enjoying all Orlando's observations.
A very special bit of magic May 29, 2008

Okay, I've been there, made new friends, `sent the postcard' and now have the book. Magimix now on order and can't wait to try some of Orlando's recipes savoured at Le Manoir. Written with caring, and much love, by an exceptionally talented Orlando. Rare in these days of `celebrity chefs' that Orlando shares his `tips' to ensure that everyone can enjoy success with his wonderful recipes ... and there seems to be a story for every recipe too.
I defy anyone who reads this book not to want to beat a path to Orlando and Peter's; meet the villagers and, of course, try the recipes, and `send the postcard'. Without having to stretch the imagination in the slightest, you will feel you are there before you've even left home. I cannot recommend highly enough this beautiful read followed hotly by a visit to Raynaudes and discover a most special area in France. Enjoy the magic!

A GREAT, WELL-ILLUSTRATED AND HELPFUL BOOK, BASED ON A GREAT REGION OF FRANCE AND AN ESTABLISHED COOK OF MUCH EXCELLENCE.
THE MANOIR IS ALL THAT ONE COULD DREAM OF REALLY! PERFECT LOCATION, PERFECT HOSTS, AND PERFECT FRESH FOOD OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.
YES, THIS IS A LYRICAL REVIEW, BUT THE BOOK SHOWS UP THE HOSTS AND THEIR DEVOTION AND THEIR GREAT DESIRE TO PRODUCE EXCELLENT FOOD AND THIS IS WHAT FOOD AND FRANCE ARE ALL BOUT - PLUS CULTURE, TOO! AND THE STAR OF THE BOOK IS THE MANOIR ITSELF.
THIS BOOK IS A RICHLY MERITED ADDITION TO THE PANTHEON OF COOKERY STARS IN FRANCE-A BOOK THAT ONE CAN DIP INTO AT WILL. IT IS HONESTLY PRODUCED AND SHOWS UP WHAT CAN BE FOUND IF ONE LOOKS HARD ENOUGH. A GOOD BOOK, A STORY TOLD FROM THE HEART AND A PLACE THAT SHOULD ENTER INTO THE REGIONAL FOLKLORE THAT IS SOUTHERN FRANCE. BUY THE BOOK, VISIT THE REGION, TAKE THE PLUNGE AND ENJOY WHAT MURRIN AND STEGGALL OFFER =- YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
