Book Reviews of Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook: Strategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking
Book Review: "Why" not just "how"
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great, as it details not just how to do something, but more importantly why it has been done that way in traditional French Bistro cooking. You might know Anthony primarily from his stint as a travelling TV host, but he is also a talented writer with a real passion for food and its preparation. In the introduction, he is right up front in telling the reader that "this book may very well not be meant for you..."
Plus, you have to love a book with recipies that include a "Ted Nugent concert T-shirt" in the ingredients list!
Cooking is about more than bringing together ingredients, it is about getting in the proper mood, conjuring the proper reverence, and bringing some soul to the table.
