About this product

Product Information

James Beard Award Winner IACP Award Winner Thomas Keller, chef/proprieter of Napa Valley's French Laundry, is passionate about bistro cooking. He believes fervently that the real art of cooking lies in elevating to excellence the simplest ingredients; that bistro cooking embodies at once a culinary ethos of generosity, economy, and simplicity; that the techniques at its foundation are profound, and the recipes at its heart have a powerful ability to nourish and please. So enamored is he of this older, more casual type of cooking that he opened the restaurant Bouchon, right next door to the French Laundry, so he could satisfy a craving for a perfectly made quiche, or a gratin ed onion soup, or a simple but irresistible roasted chicken. Now Bouchon , the cookbook, embodies this cuisine in all its sublime simplicity. But let's begin at the real beginning. For Keller, great cooking is all about the virtue of process and attention to detail. Even in the humblest dish, the extra thought is evident, which is why this food tastes so amazing: The onions for the onion soup are caramelized for five hours; lamb cheeks are used for the navarin; basic but essential refinements every step of the way make for the cleanest flavors, the brightest vegetables, the perfect balance--whether of fat to acid for a vinaigrette, of egg to liquid for a custard, of salt to meat for a duck confit. Because versatility as a cook is achieved through learning foundations, Keller and Bouchon executive chef Jeff Cerciello illuminate all the key points of technique along the way: how a two-inch ring makes for a perfect quiche; how to recognize the right hazelnut brown for a brown butter sauce; how far to caramelize sugar for different uses. But learning and refinement aside--oh those recipes Steamed mussels with saffron, bourride, trout grenobloise with its parsley, lemon, and croutons; steak frites, beef bourguignon, chicken in the pot--all exquisitely crafted. And those immortal desserts: the tarte Tatin, the chocolate mousse, the lemon tart, the profiteroles with chocolate sauce. In Bouchon , you get to experience them in impeccably realized form. This is a book to cherish, with its alluring mix of recipes and the author's knowledge, warmth, and wit: "I find this a hopeful time for the pig," says Keller about our yearning for the flavor that has been bred out of pork. So let your imagination transport you back to the burnished warmth of an old-fashioned French bistro, pull up a stool to the zinc bar or slide into a banquette, and treat yourself to truly great preparations that have not just withstood the vagaries of fashion, but have improved with time. Welcome to Bouchon.

This is not a generic response for feedback. I was really impressed with the shipping time of the order from this seller. I had to write detailed feedback it was so prompt, professional and courteous. It shipped right away, and all the items were as advertised. It would be my pleasure to deal with this seller again. This seller is above and beyond what normally takes place here on Ebay with some sellers blaming USPS for delays they caused themselves. 5 Star seller all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just a Great Cookbook

    Just a wonderfully written and illustrated cookbook. The recipes are great, classics and newer takes. Each recipe is clar, concise and very clear. Again, just a great cookbook to read and use.

  • BOUCHON

    Having eaten at Bouchon in Las Vegas, it was wonderful to actually have the book in my hands. The recipes are workable, I have already made the caramel custard, easy to follow, and I found the recipe for the Brandade de Moreau which I ate This is simply a treasure of a book that fits very well alongside the original French Laundry book. Highly recommend it for gifts for those passionate about cuisine and the ingredients used to prepare great food

  • Bouchon is both a beautiful art book and cookbook

    A beautifully produced book that is as much an art book as a cookbook. The photography by Deborah Jones is fantastic, and in fact won both the IACP and James Beard awards that year for food photography. An excellent primer on French Bistro cooking. It is the best of both worlds, and will be a great and prized addition to any cookbook collection!

  • bouchon is a delicious cook book

    I decided to buy this book after a wonderful dinning experience at the author's fabulous restaurant in the Time Warner building in new york city...my meal was so spectacular that i decided to buy the book to remind me of this wonderful dinning experience...the book is excellent...beautiful pictures and detailed instructions...i would recommend this book.

  • Great Book!

    Thomas Keller is the best Chef in the Country! I love his recipes and his restaurants.
