Thomas Keller is chef and proprietor of the French Laundry located in the Napa Valley. It is considered by many critics to be one of the best restaurants in America. Thomas' dishes are based very much on French style cuisine, with a very keen eye on presentation. He is not a food writer but a chef and he has put together a book representing the food served in his restaurant, so that we at home can prepare similar dishes.

This book is beautifully presented with clear recipes describing the dish and how it was developed, clearly laid out ingredients and methods, as well as great tips and techniques to create a spectacular dish.

This is an excellent book for lovers of gourmet food, those who love to cook and for those who just love reading about stunning dishes.
