MARCO MADE EASY: A Three-Star Chef Makes It Simple Hardcover – 30 Sept. 2010

Brilliant reference book but, I am slightly biased as I think he is the best chef I've ever seen.

A good practical book. Easy to understand with lots of hints and tips, although this book could have a few more recipes.

Nice stocking filler/present .Lovely well illustrated glossy pages with easy recipes. If you are wanting to replicate fine dining or create show stopping dishes then this book is not for you. Personally I say thanks to Marco for a cookery book for ordinary people which doesn’t involve going out buying ingredients you would never normally find in your cupboard , will never use again and probably never heard of before! There are too many of those books around (don’t you agree Mr Oliver?😂)

Came in perfect condition first thing in the morning the day after I ordered it :)

Don't be put off thinking these meals are going to be complex, they may look stunning,but are very easy, any decent home cook should be able to manage most if not all of these recipes.If you know what Reduction, Deglazing and Caramelisation are, then this book will be a welcome addition inyour kitchen.If you like to cook, (and eat), produce little works of art on a plate, quickly, easily,without too many ingredients, then this bookis definitely worth a place on your book shelf.

For sure the recipes in this book are good but for many the steps are repeated. This was Marco going through a minimalist 'keep it simple and about the produce' phase so don't expect much revelation except for some good sauces, there aren't many wholesome 'home food' dishes here, more like restaurant food simplified. Half the recipes are steaks and almost all the desserts are boiled fruit of some sort.

awful. Terrible recipes. Waste of money. Do not buy.

Bought this for my sister, who said there were several recipes that she would be able to make good use of in this book, and the simplicity of the tasty dishes are a big plus. The sections of this book begin with Starters, then go onto Shellfish, Fish, Meat, Poultry and Desserts. I've given four out of five stars, because as is with any recipe book, there are always a number of dishes that will never get made.
