Daniel Galmiche has gained or retained prestigious Michelin stars at four of Britain's top restaurants. 'The king of contemporary French cooking', he trained under the tutelage of Michel Roux and regularly appears on TV including Saturday Kitchen with James Martin, Home Cooking with Rachel Allen and the Good Food Channel's Market Kitchen. Daniel, of The Vineyard in Stockcross, Berkshire, has recently been awarded the Relais & Chateaux Rising Chef Trophy 2011 award. And he has also been chosen as the face of Panasonic's new microwave/convection/grill oven.
'If you want to know how to cook great food, then classic French cooking is where you should start, and brasserie food is where you will find French food at its most honest and its best. Daniel is a master of this - and here he shows you how to achieve great results without all the hassle of fancy ingredients.' JAMES MARTIN
