Review #1

Fabulous

My mother watches Keller's show on television and had to have this book. It was out of print and not sold in stores. One copy was priced at $300.00. It was a great birthday gift for her collection. The supplier packed it carefully and we received it in just a few days.




Review #2

Great chef, great book but don't pay over $25. Trust me

hubert keller used to work for top europe chef like Jacque Maxim, Paul Bocuse, Gaston Lenotre, Roger Verge, and etc. Considered one of the top great chef outside France. His cookbook is packed with good technique and classical dihes reflecting his time in Europe and Brazil. His restaurant is considered one of the best in the country.


If book is reproduced and available in market, I will buy it. BUT considering bloodsucking sellers on Amazon who jack all price up close to $80. You got to be kidding me if you wanna pay this high.

Borrow it from local library. If you are gonna pay this high, get Alain Ducasse book.




Review #3

For cooks who enjoy the process

Born in Alsace, Hubert Keller's culinary experiences include France, Brazil and San Francisco, all of which find an outlet here.

Organized by course, dishes range from the simple (Sundried Tomato, Herb and Fettucine Pancakes; Vegetable Risotto with Saffron), to the sublime (Truffled Vichyssoise; Mosaic of Tuna and Sea Scallops in Black Pepper Gelee).

Each recipe includes a chef's note giving preparation times and tips on ingredients, modifications, techniques and wine suggestions.

While many recipes require time and several steps - Marinated Venison Chops with Horseradish Crust and Currant Sauce; Ecuadorian Quinoa and Wild Rice Wrapped in Cabbage with Tomato and Cumin Seed Sauce - others can be on the table in less than an hour - Whole Red Snapper on Celery leaves with Orange, Lemon and Fennel; Chicken and Spinach Wraps with Hazelnut Sauce; The Best Crab Cakes (which include scallops).

A mouth-watering book for both browsing and cooking with beautiful photographs by Lois Ellen Frank.
