Editorial Reviews: Product Description Pierre Gagnaire is considered one of the best chefs in the world, and two of his restaurants have received three Michelin stars Chefs worldwide have been influenced by his innovative culinary approach Includes recipes spanning the entire course of his groundbreaking career Pierre Gagnaire is considered one of the most innovative and artistic chefs working today, renowned for his dazzling combinations of flavors, textures, and ingredients. The owner of restaurants in Paris, London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, Gagnaire has become synonymous with adventurous and iconoclastic cooking. Now, in Pierre Gagnaire: Reinventing French Cuisine, the legendary chef tells the story of his 40-year journey to culinary superstardom. Featuring reflections on Gagnaires life and work, along with 40 of his favorite recipes, this is less a cookbook than an inside look at the making of a great chef. Organized chronologically, the book begins with Gagnaires training and follows him to his restaurants in St.-Etienne and Paris, which were both awarded three Michelin stars, and beyond. The accompanying recipeswhether a simple potatoes au gratin; an elegant combination of white cabbage, buffalo mozzarella, and caviar; or a savory potato gnocchi with saffron, artichoke, and roasted hazelnutsare drawn from each period in Gagnaires life, showing his early influences, the development of his vibrant signature style, and his ongoing experiments in modern French cuisine.

Customer Reviews: A very exiting book November 23, 2008 A very exiting book. It is rewarding to be exposed to such high energy of creativity. Very disappointing August 3, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful I love Gagnaire's technique and appreciate him fully as an artist and culinary innovator. But this book is a total disappointment. It lacks cohesion, has recipes which are very difficult to cook, and poor on illustrations and photography. Does not at all deserve the high price tag it has. I don't think I will make any use of this book and will ever turn a page again for this reason I did not like it at all. Vadouvan July 20, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Product was as described and arrived in good time. I bought it for the recipe for the seasoning "Vadouvan". EXCELLENT! Essence: Recipes from Le Champignon Sauvage December 12, 2007 2 out of 39 found this review helpful An Interesting book. Shows the trend of food that the chef does from years to years.
