Description: Named a Best Book of 2020 by Publisher's Weekly Named a Best Cookbook of 2020 by Amazon and Barnes & Noble Every elegant page projects Keller's high standard of perfect culinary execution . This superb work is as much philosophical treatise as gorgeous cookbook. Publishers Weekly Starred Review Bound by a common philosophy linked by live video staffed by a cadre of inventive and skilled chefs the kitchens of Thomas Keller's celebrated restaurants The French Laundry in Yountville California and per se in New York City are in a relationship unique in the world of fine dining. Ideas bounce back and forth in a dance of creativity knowledge innovation and excellence. It's a relationship that's the very embodiment of collaboration and of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. And all of it is captured in The French Laundry Per Se with meticulously detailed recipes for 70 beloved dishes including Smoked Sturgeon Rillettes on an Everything Bagel The Whole Bird Tomato Consomm Celery Root Pastrami Steak and Potatoes Peaches n Cream. Just reading these recipes is a master class in the state of the art of cooking today. We learn to use a dehydrator to intensify the flavor and texture of fruits and vegetables. To make the crunchiest coating with a cornstarch egg white paste and potato flakes. To limit waste in the kitchen by fermenting vegetable trimmings for sauces with an unexpected depth of flavor. And that essential Keller trait to take a classic and reinvent it: like the French onion soup with a mushroom essence stock and garnish of braised beef cheeks and Comt mousse or a classic cr me br l e reimagined as a rich creamy ice cream with a crispy sugar tuile to mimic the caramelized coating. Throughout there are 40 recipes for the basics to elevate our home cooking. Some are old standbys like the best versions of beurre mani and b chamel others more unusual including a ramen broth (aka the Super Stock) and a Blue - Ribbon Pickle. And with its notes on technique stories about farmers and purveyors and revelatory essays from Thomas Keller The Lessons of a Dishwasher Inspiration Versus Influence Patience and Persistence The French Laundry Per Se will change how young chefs determined home cooks and dedicated food lovers understand and approach their cooking.
