About this Item

528 pages. This hefty tome is part Cookbook mixed in with a huge portion of artistry along with a colossal sense of aspiration. Harold McGee, the renown food historian declares: "At first glance it looks right. It calls itself a cookbook, bears the names of a famous chef and restaurant, But the recipes are dwarfed by their head-notes, and they're followed by a set of disquisition's on, among other things, perfume and acids and the science of chewing. From a Perfumer and a physicist and a chewing specialist. Then there's the startling art, the telescoping typography. Surprise! - This book is serious fun. It nudges us to set aside our preconceptions about cookbooks and restaurant dining, and enjoy watching them made new. It plays with our minds to help taste food afresh." Clean, crisp copy with A La Carte Menu, Lunch Menu, and Tasting Menu's laid in. Also, Fat Duck Cereals box, Heston Blumenthal business card, and promotional cards for Family Food & Nostalgia Foods laid in. All edges silver. With slipcase. Oversized and heavy - additional shipping for non-US orders. Gray cloth covered boards, decorated in silver. Near fine, in near fine slipcase. Seller Inventory # 3612
