Gordon Hamersley is an American chef based in Boston. Arguably his roast chicken is his most acclaimed recipe. It was part of a meal he cooked for Julia Child in her show ''In Julia's Kittchen with Master Chefs.''〔(Featured Chefs of In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs )〕〔(Video: Roast Chicken with Garlic and Lemon with Gordon Hamersley | Watch In Julia's Kitchen With Master Chefs Online )〕 〔(Hamersley’s Bistro Closing After 27 Years In Boston’s South End )〕 His personal trademark is the ever present Red Sox cap.〔(Gordon Hamersley on Staying Motivated 27 Years Later )〕 ==Biography== In the 1970s he enrolled in Boston University where trained at some French restaurants within the Boston area. By 1979 he had moved to Los Angeles, where he worked in Ma Maison under the supervision of chef Wolfgang Puck. In 1982, he moved with his wife Fiona to Nice, France where they shopped and ate glorious French food. A year later he came back to Boston and got a job with Lydia Shire at Boston's Copley Plaza Hotel. Four years later, he and his wife Fiona opened ''Hamersley's Bistro'' on Tremont Street where they served French cuisine. When asked "Who has been your biggest culinary inspiration?", he responded "Probably the chef I was most influenced by as a young cook, the one who cooked closest to how I cook today, was Claude Segal who was at Ma Maison after Wolfgang Puck. Unfortunately Claude died a few years ago, but he was the one who first showed me how fulfilling simple French country cooking was to cook and eat. He was a master at simplicity and presented his food with a natural elegance. Wolfgang introduced me to the rigors of cooking for a super demanding crowd. ... Lydia (Shire) was a gas to work with .... I loved Andre Soltner, who owned Lutece in New York. Soltner taught me that my true role as an owner and chef is to be in the restaurant’s kitchen night in and night out. But I guess Julia (Child]) was the one who taught me the most. She told me to ‘Stay true to my instincts and don’t be affected by trends for trends sake.’ In the early days (of Hamersley’s Bistro), she used to call me at home the morning after eating at my restaurant with a list of things she felt should be better. There’s nothing quite as motivating as being criticized by Julia Child at seven in the morning. Yikes!"〔(Gordon Hamersley on Staying Motivated 27 Years Later )〕 Hamersley's Bistro closed in the end of October 2014.〔(Hamersley’s Bistro Closing After 27 Years In Boston’s South End )〕 In January, 2015, Gordon Hamersley began writing a food column for the Boston Globe. 〔(Introducing a Chef You Already Know )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gordon Hamersley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
