The kitchen bible from Yountville.

The cookbook the next generation of American chefs read before they applied. Thomas Keller's documentation of the food at The French Laundry in Napa Valley, the restaurant that reset the bar for American fine dining. Recipes so precise they read like instructions for a small religion. Technique photography. The long version. The cookbook the serious home cook keeps on the counter for one weekend a year and the shelf for the rest. The wedding gift that signals you take the kitchen seriously.

For the home cook with the proper knife. For the friend who tracks tasting menus. For the kitchen that wants the standard, not the shortcut.
