His long-held plan to write a simple cookbook - inspired by his mother, Maman Blanc - began months before the Covid pandemic hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly everything changed, and Raymond, like the rest of the world, struggled to find a way through lockdown. At home, and isolated from his family - as well as his army of chefs at the world-renowned two-star Michelin restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and his Brasserie Blanc restaurants - Raymond cooked and cooked. He opted for the simple dishes that evoked the happy memories, provided the connection to those he could not be with. He focused on recipes that were neither a challenge nor fussy. They required ingredients that were easily available and needed only basic kitchen equipment. The result is \u003ci\u003eSimply Raymond\u003c\/i\u003e. It is a collection of his favourite home-cooked recipes - the dishes that mean the most to him; the ones that connect family and friends, and dishes that took him on stove-side travels to other parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDish by dish, \u003ci\u003eSimply Raymond\u003c\/i\u003e presents an irresistible feast.

Shortly before Raymond finished writing it, his mother sadly passed away. This book is a heartfelt tribute to her, created with passion and thoughtfulness. It is also a testament to the great pleasure derived from stepping into a kitchen, simply to cook simply for others. Something he has done all of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecipes include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCod Cassoulet with Chorizo and Mixed Beans\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA Quick Ratatouille\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCauliflower and Red Lentil Dhal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite Onion Soup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeetroot Salad with Hot Smoked Salmon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSalade Nicoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTartiflette\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrawberry and Mascarpone Tart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46446002929900,"sku":"9781472267603","price":63.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4813553482712.jpg?v=1747377592"},{"product_id":"simply-raymond-kitchen-garden-by-raymond-blanc-9781472293824","title":"Simply Raymond Kitchen Garden","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSimply Raymond Kitchen Garden\u003c\/em\u003e is a celebration of seasonal ingredients, grown and cooked by Raymond Blanc in the gardens of Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'I am still in awe,' says Raymond Blanc, 'of the magic of the garden and the miracles of the kitchen, and the wondrous connection between them.'
