y-step guide to creating world-class food anytime - at home!"

Sl?inge, Sweden

Dear "Fellow Food Lover"

My name is Karl-Hermann Wadsack, but my friends call me “Charly”.

I am currently twelve years into a wonderful retirement in Sweden with my beautiful wife June after selling our restaurant in England in 1995.

I have been a chef since I first came out of school in Hanover, Germany, and now, following years of nagging from friends of mine, I have relented and finally produced a guide on the basics of cooking, including all the tips and advice I can muster after 40 years+ working as a chef.

"The Young Chef Wadsack on the American Swedish Line in the 1960's"

So, who is this guy calling himself a
world-class chef?

It’s a fair question, which is why I will outline my cooking career history (most of which was in England) for you to decide if I deserve that title:

- When I worked at the Heathrow Hotel in London in 1970, I was the youngest Chef de Cuisine in the UK. I was in charge of 90 chefs, employing 19 different nationalities cooking top quality food 24 hours a day.

"Youngest Chef de Cuisine in England"

- I put the famous “Wild Boar Hotel” in Kendal (The Lake District, England) on the map with food and dinner dances that made us the talk of the town in the 1970s.

"The Apprentice Chef Wadsack posing in the Middle"

- I was the most successful head chef ever at The Old England Hotel in Windermere in the beautiful Lake District, in England, making profit for the first time in years. People came from far and wide to sample my food.

"Me in the middle looking proudly beside my Ice-poodle!"

- I was the head chef that opened the St George's Hotel in Liverpool, England. We earned great notices in the local papers and city guides and became a famous dining hang-out for the pop and sports stars of the day.

"Hard at work in the early 70's"

- When I took over at the world famous Quaglino's in London I turned a ?300,000 loss into a ?200,000 profit in less than 2 years because my food made the restaurant “in vogue” again.

"In "The Times" whilst Chef de Cuisine at Quaglino's"

"Me and my beautiful wife, June, for a publicity picture in The Daily Mail 1974"

- I was head chef at the world famous Chewton Glen Hotel when we won the Hotel of the Year Award in 1976.

"Chewton Glen the Worlds Best Hotel"

"Chewton Glen Hotel of the Year Award with
a picture of me in the National Press"

Egon Ronay and the rest…

In 1978, my wife and I took over small pub called “The Three Lions” in the hamlet of Stuckton, Near Fordingbridge in Hampshire, England. It was a beautiful little pub that was serving only scampi and fries in a basket at the time.

"The Three Lions in an English Winter"

It was to be our home and the scene for some of my greatest achievements as a chef over the next 17 years…

1982 – AA First entry with “Rosette”, then every year until 1995

"AA Rosette for the Three Lions"

1984 – The world famous Egon Ronay Guide, then every year until 1995, including a personal visit in 1981.

"Invite from Egon Ronay"

1985 – The Good Food Guide, then every year until 1995

"At the head of the Gastro Pub revolution in the UK in 1984"

1985 - The Michelin Guide (with 3 forks and knives and a special “M”)

1992 – Lord Litchfield’s “Book of the Best” guide

1993 - Ackerman Guide for Food and Wine (4 clover)

Plus numerous write-ups over the years in national and local papers and radio stations.

"Being made Maitre Grillardin in the world's oldest
gastronomic guild, the Chaine Rottisseurs"

For a humble little restaurant, we got quite famous.

Food Awards

Apart from being well-known, we also picked up a few awards over the years…

1982 – Country Pub of the Year Award

1984 – Tuck Inn Award – best food in Pubs or Inns in Southern England

1985 – AA Guide’s Special Award for food and wine in pubs

1986 – Egon Ronay’s “The Pewter Plate Award” for Country Restaurant of the Year.

"Press Coverage on our refurbishment in 1986"

1987 – Dairy Crest Cheese Award for Best Country Restaurant

1989 – Dairy Crest Cheese Award (again!)

1990 – Egon Ronay Award for “Best Pub in Britain”

"Taking a glass of wine after a long shift cooking at The Three Lions"

1990 – La Ina “Civilised Restaurant of the Year”

1990 – Award for our quality of Scottish Salmon, from the “Board” in Scotland

1990 – Award for “Best Wine List of the Year” in the whole of the UK

"The Three Lions wine cellar"

1991 – Wine List of the Year Award (again!)

(my wife, June Wadsack, was in charge of creating our wine list and she did an amazing job. Our whole family love food and wine – our youngest son, Hans-Joachim (Joe) Wadsack is a regular TV wine expert in the UK and judges wine competitions all over the world)

"The Local paper reporting on more of our awards and success"

1992 – Won “Fordingbridge in Bloom” Award for best display of flowers and garden (okay, it’s not food but I believe a good restaurant and good cooking is as much about presentation as it is the food itself)

"Receiving the Fordingbridge in Bloom Award"

1992 – Mimi Elder from Gourmet Magazine in the USA visited us and gave us a BIG write up which resulted in many American tourists seeking us out

1992 – Won a recipe competition for the German Food and Wine Board (CMA). Resulted in invitation to the Cooks Olympics in Frankfurt, Germany (I was born in Hanover)

1992 – Function Menu of the Year Award

1993 – another great write-up in from the food critic from “The American” magazine. More tourists!

1994 – Pub Wine of the Year Award for best red wine by the glass in the UK

We then sold “The Three Lions” in 1995 to live in Sweden near June's Momma. The restaurant has gone from strength to strength since then – please visit it if you are ever in the UK; you’ll be joined by diners that include Prince Andrew and Madonna…

…I have also cooked for quite a few famous people myself over the years…

Cooking for Royalty and World Leaders

I have cooked for the UK Royal Family on many occasions. The first of which was for the Queen when she launched a frigate in Barrow-in-Furness and then again at Quaglino's in London.

I cooked for the Queen’s husband, Prince Phillip, when he visited the Old England Hotel as “President of the Royal Yacht Club”.

"Daily Mail article 1974"

I have cooked for Princess Margaret, Princess Anne and Prince Charles on many occasions at different functions across London.

I also cooked at the wedding of Sir Charles Forte’s daughter to an Italian Marquise at Quaglino's.

Liverpool Football Club

For those of you interested in soccer, I cooked for many legends of Liverpool in the seventies. We had every home game and visiting team at Anfield every week, and famous popstars such as Cilla Black and Jerry Marsden would often join in the fun!

I particularly loved singing “you ain’t seen nothing like the mighty Emlyn” to the tune of “The Mighty Quinn” and referring to Liverpool’s late, great captain Emlyn Hughes.

The Prime Minister’s Favourite

Sir Ted Heath, former Prime Minister of the UK, was a regular at “The Three Lions”, as were many famous people, from lords and ladies, actors, pop stars, composers, military brass, comedians, football managers, TV stars…too many to mention, let alone remember, but here are a few…

Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Lord Litchfield, Lord Snowden, Douglas Adams, Tom Baker, The Earl and Mrs Normanton, Lord and Lady Stokes, Lord and Lady Norton, Lord and Lady Romsey, The Admiral of the Fleet, Robin Cook (former UK Foreign Minister), Murray Walker OBE, Nigel Mansell (former World F1 Champion), Kevin Keegan, Harry Redknapp, Max Bygraves, Des Lynam (if you’re in the States and don’t know all of these people, believe me they’re famous in Europe)…

"A card from Tom Baker thanking us for dinner - he played
Doctor Who on TV in the 1970's"

"Invitation to meet the King of Sweden"

"Lord Stokes requesting a table at The Three Lions"

Continental Customers

Because of the improving quality of our customer base over the years, we had to install a helipad and a microlight landing strip! We even had customers from France and Germany who flew to Bournmouth Airport in private aircraft, got picked up in limos just to eat and drink at our restaurant for four hours, then fly back home! I thought they were crazy, but found this type of behaviour to be such a personal and professional compliment.

Chef Charly Wadsack’s
How to Cook Like a Pro?

So, if you’re still with me, I guess you agree that I can legitimately call myself a world class chef. Now, what about the guide?

The story of how this guide came to exist is that I was invited to a University in Germany in 2003 to teach a group of American students how to cook - European style!

The course that I prepared for them forms the basis of this e-book course.

In this course, I will teach you:

In the beginning was the Earth,
then man, who discovered fire,
and so began to cook.

Part I:
How to Cook Stocks and Reductions
Like a Pro?

In this first part of the course, we will cover all the basics of stocks and reductions, including my unique, tried and tested recipes for:

? GAME STOCK

? BROWN POULTRY STOCK

? BASIC FISH STOCK

? REDUCED FISH STOCK – Glace de Poisson

? VEGETABLE STOCK

Part II:
How to Cook Starters Like a Pro?

Starters are so important because they set the scene for the main course. I will reveal my PROVEN “Rules for Starters” (you will NEVER go wrong again if you follow these), as well as my own recipes for these mouth-watering dishes fit for any table in the world:

TERRINES:

? RUSTIC HERRING TERRINE WITH DILL

? TERRINE OF SWEETBREADS AND CHICKEN

? CHICKEN FORCEMEAT

? MODERN VEGETABLE TERRINE

? COCKTAILS

DRESSINGS:

? CLASSIC FRENCH DRESSING

Part III:
How to Cook Fish Like a Pro?

As Brillat-Savarin said:

“In the hands of a clever cook, fish is an inexhaustible source of enjoyment and taste”

In this part of the course, I will share my insights into the golden rules for cooking fish, along with these gorgeous recipes:

? GRILLED MONKFISH WITH VINAIGRETTE SAUCE

? RIVER TROUT FILLETS WITH LEEKS

? ESCALOPE OF SALMON ON A CREAM AND CHIVE SAUCE

? SAUTéED FILLET OF JOHN DORY (St. Pierre fish) WITH ROSEMARY

? THE MAKING OF VELOUTé

? WHITE WINE SAUCE FOR FISH

? RED WINE SAUCE FOR FISH

? BEURRE BLANC (white butter sauce)

In classical cookery nearly all dishes are named after their garnishes.
Many groups of garnishes are identified by special names, referring to countries, cities, trades, events or to persons more or less famous.

? THE MAKING OF BOUILLABAISSE

? DIFFERENT METHODS OF COOKING FISH
Including my thoughts on: STEAMING, POACHING (with my famous recipe for COURT-BOUILLON), SHALLOW FRYING FISH (Sautéing: a gentle way of preparing fish dishes, especially those with a delicate and mild flavour), GRILLING AND ROASTING FISH

? BOUILLABAISSE - a traditional French fish rago?t

? HOME-MADE SAFFRON NOODLES

? SALMON FILLETS IN FILO PASTRY WITH GINGER AND TWO PEPPER SAUCES

? SEAFOOD SYMPHONY
You’ll take the risk of never being invited back for dinner if you make this for your guests – they’d be terrified of ever matching it!

? TURBOT WITH MIXED VEGETABLES

"Preparing food for friends in the restaurant kitchen on a day off"

Part IV:
How to Cook Meat Dishes and Sauces
Like a Pro?

A good chef can be recognized by his sauces. Many of my reviews over the years often concentrated on my sauces. Sauce making is the most fertile area in cooking. It is here that the imagination, properly controlled, can really reach new heights and it is within a particular sauce that improvements can be made and remade and continuously perfected.

In this, the largest part of the course, I will explain all the different types and cuts of meat eaten across the world, as well as share my recipes for these crowd-pleasing gourmet (but simple) delights:

? BASIC BROWN SAUCE

? RED WINE SAUCE

? MADEIRA SAUCE

? MADEIRA AND TRUFFLE SAUCE

? TARRAGON AND RED WINE SAUCE

? GAME SAUCE

? CARROT SAUCE WITH SAUTERNES

Then we will look at the PRINCIPAL METHODS AND PROCESSES OF COOKING MEAT:

- COOKING BY SEALING
- COOKING BY EXCHANGE:
- GRILLING MEAT
- ROASTING MEAT
- SAUTéING OF MEAT
- BRAISING MEATS AND RAGO?TS
- POACHING AND BOILING MEAT

And then we get into some of my most popular, best selling meat recipes never before shared with the public:

? ROAST DUCK BREAST WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE AND GRATIN DAUPHINOIS

? FUMET DE CéPES (brown sauce with fungi)

? SAUTéED PORK FILLET ZüRICH STYLE WITH R?STI POTATOES

? R?STI POTATOES

? SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH BAYONNE HAM, TOMATOES AND RED PEPPERS, SERVED WITH PILAFF RICE

? GRENADINE OF VEAL WITH GREEN PEPPERCORNS AND ARTICHOKE

And finally, I share with you my greatest secret recipes for the SPECIAL SAUCES that raise the quality and wonder of any dish:

? CUMBERLAND SAUCE
? HOT ENGLISH BREADSAUCE
? HOT HORSERADISH SAUCE, "SEMMELKREN"
? CRANBERRY AND APPLE SAUCE
? ENGLISH MINT SAUCE
? APPLE SAUCE
? ITALIAN PESTO
? TOMATO SALSA

Part V:

As a German married to a Swede, European cookery is in my blood and in this part of the course I concentrate on the three most important gastronomic regions of Europe:

Italy, France and Germany

(okay, you might not think of Germany as gastronomic, but I am German and I'd like to prove how good German food can taste)

I outline in simple terms everything you need to know about these regions to gain a clearer understanding of the food and the people – all designed to enhance your enjoyment!

I also complement this with a range of recipes designed to tantalize and delight – all completely unique and from in my head!

A good question…how much should I charge for distilling 40 years experience as a chef into not one but FIVE, easy to read, original, entertaining e-books?
Considering inferior e-books cost $25-$40 on average, I should be charging FIVE TIMES that price: $125-$200.
