Restaurant recipes you can make at home
Everything I've made out of Daniel Boulud's Cafe Boulud Cookbook: French-American Recipes for the Home Cook has been a success, from the "laquered" Asian chicken to the celery root puree. The short ribs were outstanding. Dorie Greenspan has translated Daniel Boulud's recipes into something any capable home cook can make -- and enjoy!
Highly recommended !!
Daniel Boulud is truly one of the world's greatest chefs, and Daniel Boulud's Cafe Boulud Cookbook: French-American Recipes for the Home Cook is written proof of that. If you want simple, basic French cuisine that you can make at home without a lot of fuss, then this is the book for you.
You don't need to be chef....
You don't need to be a chef to enjoy Daniel Boulud's Cafe Boulud Cookbook: French-American Recipes for the Home Cook.
The story of Daniel Boulud's passionate journey to become a world class chef is a great read. He talks the talk and walks the walk! I have since dined at his restaurant (Cafe Boulud)

doesn't happen by accident and the book explains all that Chef
Boulud puts into his art. Enjoy!
