Bistro food is the food of happiness. The dishes have universal allure, whether it's steak frites or a perfectly roasted chicken, onion soup or beef bourguignon. These are recipes that have endured for centuries, and they find their most perfect representation in the hands of the supremely talented Thomas Keller. And just as Bouchon demonstrated Keller's ability to distill the sublime simplicity of bistro cooking to elevate it beyond what it had never been before, Bouchon Bakery is filled with baked goods that are a marvel of ingenuity and simplicity. From morning baguettes and almond croissants to fruit tarts and buttery brioche, these most elemental and satisfying of foods are treated with an unmatched degree of precision and creativity. With this exciting new collection, readers are sure to expand their knowledge, enrich their experience, and refine their technique. Review: Great for my cook books collection - Thomas Keller confirms (if necessary....) by these friendly cook books that the best is not the in the more complicated and expensive recipes. A great "Grazie !" from Italy. Review: Clear and excellent quality - Well published and informative

Varsity Level Play - Experience Required
Not for the timid. But gorgeous books with recipes that a home cook can *mostly* pull off with skill, practice and dedication. Don't start here though. Ad Hoc at Home is the introductory level course. This is intermediate "Varsity level play", with a few ringers included to remind you that you are not a Three Star Micheline chef -- so settle down. As for Keller's "The French Laundry" (and a few of the recipes in Bouchon) -- no. That's just for looking at by mere mortals.

Lovely cookbook from a stellar author
Bouchon is a favorite stop of mine when I'm in the area for wine tastings, and after a recent trip, I decided to indulge in some nostalgia by ordering a copy of this cookbook. This book, as with others from the Keller collection, is well-curated, features stunning photographs, and has top-tier recipes. This is the book I'm most eager to cook 100% of the way through!

Ein Muss für Thomas-Keller-Fans!
Genialer Koch - geniale Rezepte. Nicht unbedingt einfach nachzukochen, aber in allerbester Weise inspirierend. Aber schließlich handelt es sich um den Drei-Sterne-Koch Thomas Keller.
