The French Laundry Cookbook

The acclaimed French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley—dubbed "the most exciting place to eat in the United States"—celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2019 (The New York Times). The most influential cookbook of the century commemorates this occasion by highlighting the genius of chef/proprietor Thomas Keller himself. Keller is a wizard, a purist, and an obsessive perfectionist. And this, his first cookbook, is as satisfying as a meal at the French Laundry: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses.

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 one of America's great restaurants, its great chef, and the food that makes both unique through recipes, essays, profiles, and extraordinary photography.
