French Laundry

Keller is, as you have probably surmised from the other reviews, the consumate chef's chef. Food at the French Market is spectacular and the book is worth having if you are interested in cooking at all. However, do not expect to rush home after a busy day and prepare one of these dishes. I would call the ingredient list "Gourmet" and many of the preparations "advanced." Your average main course prep time will be two to three hours (not including shopping). That said, the menus I have tried are accurate and clear in instruction. Guests at your upcoming dinner parties will rave about your culinary prowess.

 The Complete Thomas Keller: The French Laundry Cookbook & Bouchon Hardcover – Box set, September 30, 2006

If you're looking for your muse, this book is it. Beautiful photography, galvanizing descriptions of not only the food but how it's grown, cared for and prepared. There's no need to limit yourself to the art of food, but if you're a food artist, you came to the right place. But any artist will feel at home with this book. Putting FLC & Bouchon together is an inspired idea, synergy writ large.
