The French Laundry Cookbook
Thomas Keller, Deborah Jones

Artisan, 1999

essential for the serious French food lover
Anything by Thomas Keller is a must-have for the serious French cook. This is definitely not the cookbook for the beginning home cook, as most of the recipes are multi-step--time-consuming for some. The recipes are unique, fresh, and simply delicious. The written ...

My all-time favorite cookbook...
This is definitely my favorite cookbook ever. I use it all the time, and still haven't even tried about 3/4 of the recipes...there are just so many! It is true that some of the recipes require ingredients that are hard to find here (though I was able to make some of ...

Bouchon
Thomas Keller

Artisan, 2004

Excellent gift
This was bought as a gift. Rarely do you get a chance to give a gift that keeps on giving. In addition, it shows careful thought. The recipes outlined in the book can be accomplished and make the "chef" who cooks them a star. So the giver is one too!!!
  
  











  



  
Mexican Everyday (Recipes Featured on Season 4 of the PBS-TV series "Mexico One Plate at a Time")
Rick Bayless, Deann Groen Bayless

W. W. Norton, 2005

My family and I cannot get enough of these recipes
There are so many great things to say about this book. First of all, this recipe is not a step-by-step manual for preparing Mexican food as it is a blueprint to Mexican cuisine. Thus, it helps you understand how to cook good Mexican food without adhering to a ...
