About this product

Product Information

IACP Award Winner 2019 marks the twenty-fifth 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 sautées beautifully; poaching eggs in a deep pot of water for perfect shape; the initial steeping in the shell that makes cooking raw lobster out of the shell a cinch; using vinegar as a flavor enhancer; the repeated washing of bones for stock for the cleanest, clearest tastes. 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."

  • One amazing book for any experiance level

    The book "The French Laundry" by Thomas Keller is one of a kind. It falling under the category of cookbook lends it a premise of simplicity and denies it the respect it deserves as both an educational tool and an overall wonderful read. I personally read this book cover to cover, taking in every bit of his life shared throughout, and every piece of knowledge he imparts on nearly every page. This is the work of a chef who knows how to convey exactly what he has learned throughout his experiences. As a third (out of four) year culinary student with a good deal of experience, I know that there is no replacing a solid foundation in the fundamentals. I found that even while Mr. Keller shares his intricate recipes and techniques, he also manages to weave in reminders of how to achieve the most ...

  • What an inspring adventure!

    I am a fledging home gourmand and so for years I had heard about the high art that makes up the stratosphere of the world's finest restaurants. I could never afford to spend $350 on myself for dinner at the French Laundry, so this is as close as I am likely to get. So as I have been studying the book it became apparent I can greatly refine the items I already prepare, and I am thrilled at that prospect. It is one of the greatest privileges in the world to allow someone to prepare a meal for you, knowing that not only will they take it in, but it will forever be a part of them. So I want the food that I prepare for my friends to as special to them as they are to me. While sharing a great deal with the home chef you know that there is even more they have not disclosed. Its the ...

  • A beautiful book, but ingredients not always practical!

    The French Laundry is the book filled with 150 recipes from Thomas Kellers Napa restaurant of the same name! This is no ordinary restaurant, but one, if noy the best in the United States, and its recent award of three Michelin Stars goes to prove just that! But if Napa, or the extravagant prices are not easily within you reach; then this may just well be the next best thing as Keller shares some of his unique and award winning style with the at home cook! This book is aesthetically beautiful - it is well presented with perfect photographic example of the meals you can make! It is a great gift for the keen cook and would look as good on display as it would in use! A word of cautio would be to photocopy any recipe you care to try, this book is both expensive and attractive - kitchens are ...

  • The french laundry cookbook

    This cookbook really reflects the artistry, the creativity, the savoir faire of fine french cuisine. My husband is french and we live in france 6 months out of a year. We are no experts but consider ourselve "foodies". Always in search of a michlin star or great reviewed restaurants. In the United states the french laundry is my favorite restaurant next to "Daniels" Boulud in NY city. I have made a few dishes from the recipes in the french laundry cookbook. They were all excellent. The author/chef includes the level of difficulty which is very helpful. The book also educates one on the inportance of truffles and even where they buy them from. Great recipes for blended butters and infused oils. This is an excellent cookbook and not just for outstanding cooks but for anyone who enjoys ...
