Years of experience have given him a rich store of knowledge and the skill to create fantastic dishes that work time after time.

Raymond has done all the hard work, refining recipes over months and even years until they are quite perfect. Every recipe includes explanations and hints to ensure that your results are consistently brilliant.

With more than 100 recipes from both series of KitchenSecrets, this is guaranteed to be a must-have for anybody with a love of French cuisine and finesse.
