Good Food Fast

Gabriel Gate has that rare combination, he learned his craft from some of the great master chefs of France, he knows the reality of being a family cook with too little time: he communicates with dazzling success both the joy of cooking and how to make great tasting food this is simple, easy and, above all, achievable.

Gabriel was born in the Loire Valley in France in 1955 in a small village where his father grew all the family's vegetables and made their wine. He first learned to cook from his grandmother. Later he served his chef's apprenticeship under Master Chef, Albert Augereau, at 'Jeanne de Laval', one of the greatest restaurants of western France. Then he worked in Paris at the renowned fish restaurant, Prunier, at the Berkeley Hotel in London and under Alain Senderens at L'Archestrate, the celebrated 5-star restaurant in Paris.

He met his Australian wife Angle when she was studying French at the Sorbonne. They moved to Australia in 1977, and his impact on the way we cook has been profound.

Gabriel's first book was French Cuisine for Australians’, which is well loved by many. His second book 'Family Food', published by Anne O'Donovan in association with the Anti-Cancer Council, has had a huge impact. It has sold over 150,000 copies. This, along with his next two books published with the Anti-Cancer Council, 'Smart Food' and 'Good Food Fast', have together sold 500,000 copies.

The three following cookbooks - 'Favourite Fast Recipes', 'Television Recipes' and 'Great Cakes and Desserts' which have brought his sales over 700,000.

Gabriel has authored 18 cookbooks, all have been national best sellers, several have won international awards and he has total sales of over 1,000,000 copies.
