Book Reviews of Alinea
Book Review: A beautiful tome perfect for sensory overload
Summary: 5 Stars
I just couldn't wait to get a copy of Grant Achatz's book when I heard he was writing it. This is such a great-priced book considering its quality, the sumptuous pictures and the unique content. To my delight, it contained a lot of the dishes that I was lucky enough to enjoy when I made my pilgrimage to Alinea. Even though I knew then that all the dishes were intricate and detailed, I only know now just exactly how intricate and challenging they are to perfect!
As you can imagine, this is no typical cookbook from which the everyday home cook can follow easily (unless you have easy access to liquid nitrogen or sodium citrate or the various alginates). It is a beautiful peek into the workings of the Alinea kitchen and a source of inspiration for molecular gastronomist wannabes. It also makes a hell of a gorgeous coffee table book, a perfect holiday or birthday present for any foodie!
