Did you know that one of Jamie Oliver’s culinary inspirations is his veg garden? Or that Delia’s favourite mealtime is a traditional Sunday lunch? And who would have guessed that Gordon Ramsay’s most useful piece of kitchen equipment is a non-stick pan? These are just some of the fascinating tit-bits you’ll find when some of the world’s most famous chefs go Off duty and let us into their own kitchens to find out what they cook in their spare time.To support the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation, David Nicholls enlisted the help of an astonishing array of culinary stars, including:
| Herbert Berger Vineet Bhatia Raymond Blanc Heston Blumenthal OBE Daniel Boulud Steven Doherty Alain Ducasse Anton Edelman Mark Edwards Richard Ekkebus Chris Galvin Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers Angela Hartnett Shaun Hill Hywel Jones Thomas Keller |
Gray Kunz Nigella Lawson Susur Lee Giorgio Locatelli Grant MacPherson Nobu Matsuhisa Andy McLeish Matt Moran Anton Mosimann OBE David Nicholls Jamie Oliver OBE Neil Perry Wolfgang Puck Gordon Ramsay OBE Gary Rhodes OBE Michel Richard |
Alain Roux Albert Roux OBE Michel Roux OBE Michel Roux Jr Mark Sargeant Julian Serrano Delia Smith OBE Chris Staines Rick Stein OBE Nori Sugie Charlie Trotter Brian Turner CBE Jean-Georges Vongerichten Marcus Wareing John Williams MBE Eric Ziebold |
All these people have freely given their time – and some of their favourite recipes – to help support the NSIF. As Thomas Keller explains, “It was an honour and a pleasure to have been part of this mission. Although I expected nothing in return, I’ve been hugely rewarded.” We hope you’re able to get involved and enjoy the same rewards.
