This is a nicely presented cookbook. It has some lovely ideas and some ideas that frankly, we've seen before. Other cookbooks do simaler dishes better. however having said that this book represents excellent value. Most cookbooks presenting this type of up market fine dining can be much more expensive. So if you're a young chef who aspires to fine dining and want some ideas then this is the book for you. Older hands, maybe shhot for the french laundry etc etc but if you're a collector like myself then this is still a good buy. Like i say, some really nice ideas and it is very well presented.

I am a French Caterer in London and at Tray Gourmet we try to find new ideas and open our mind to cooking inspired by French influence but add the creativity of other culture.
Rick Tramonto books is an inspiration and a model of such creativity.
May be on day american chef will also make theire recipes in metric.
