Product Description
From the Owner of French Laundry
The French Laundry Cookbook by Thomas Keller is his first cookbook, and every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses.
- Thomas Keller, chef/proprietor of the French Laundry in the Napa Valley "the most exciting place to eat in the United States," wrote Ruth Reichl in The New York Times is a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right.
- From innovative soup techniques to the proper way to cook green vegetables, to secrets of great fish cookery, to the creation of breathtaking desserts; from beurre monté to foie gras au torchon, to a wild and thoroughly unexpected take on coffee and doughnuts, The French Laundry Cookbook captures, through recipes, essays, profiles, and extraordinary photography, one of America's great restaurants, its great chef, and the food that makes both unique.
- One hundred and fifty superlative recipes are exact recipes from the French Laundry kitchen no shortcuts have been taken, no critical steps ignored, all have been thoroughly tested in home kitchens. If you can't get to the French Laundry, you can now re-create at home the very experience Wine Spectator described as "as close to dining perfection as it gets."
