Book Reviews of A Return to Cooking
Book Review: Fantastic look into the heart and soul of a world-class chef and cook
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only had "A Return to Cooking" for a very short time and it is already one of my favorite kitchen references. You really get to see a great culinary mind at work as they move from season to season and venue to venue, trolling the local markets for goodies and *poof* improvising spectacular food. In many cases, he worked with ingredients which he had not ever heard of prior to the morning before cooking them.
The asides and sotto voce comments that are sprinkled about are worth the purchase all on the own, never mind the incredible recipes. "A cook is an instrument of nature", goes one memorable line. That sums it up pretty well.
