Forte no longer exists and I have developed a new company, Rocco Forte Hotels. In recent years there has been a huge growth in interest in food and cooking. There is an increased awareness of what constitutes ‘good food’ and a much greater propensity to experience a wide range of ethnic foods. The explosion of successful restaurants, not just in London but throughout the UK, offering a variety of dishes is witness to this. The excesses of nouvelle cuisine have been left behind, with a return to a more classical approach but still retaining the attractive presentation format of the former. People are also conscious of the health and nutritional aspects of food and are now demanding simpler food that is still well presented. My hotel restaurants are an important part of the product I offer to my customers. They must feel like independent restaurants and attract outside customers. The restaurant must offer glamorous surroundings and value for money. It must offer dishes with which our customers are familiar and feel comfortable, as well as more original ideas. The secret is to keep it simple: too many chefs try to over-elaborate, but the delivery must be to a high quality standard. Advanced Practical Cookery will provide an invaluable source of information for catering students and help them towards a successful career in an industry where there is a huge demand for their skills.
