Book overview
IACP Award Winner * Named one of "The 25 Most Influential Cookbooks From the Last 100 Years" by T: The New York Times Style Magazine
2024 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of The French Laundry Cookbook, and the thirtieth anniversary of the acclaimed French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley--"the most exciting place to eat in the United States" (The New York Times). The most transformative cookbook of the century celebrates this milestone by showcasing the genius of chef/proprietor Thomas Keller himself. Keller is a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right. And this, his first cookbook, is every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses.
Most dazzling is how simple Keller's methods are: squeegeeing the moisture from the skin on fish so it saut
