tru: a cookbook from the legendary Chicago restaurant
Great book
good photos
and great technical skills and also easy to read and use in the ktichen
Great memoir of a phenomenal restaurant
I just ate at Tru for the second time and it was as amazing as the first time - actually this has become my favorite restaurant in the world (sorry Thomas Keller). I was excited to see the Tru cookbook and hoped that, like the stellar French Laundry cookbook, I might be able to use it to cook some of my favorites from Tru. I have read through the entire cookbook a few times and as culinary reading it is wonderful. Sadly in the past few days I have tried three recipes and had three failures. I am an accomplished home chef, not professional by any means but I am a heck of a recipe follower and can usually make any recipe from any cookbook.

Tasteful words
In Tru: A Cookbook from the Legendary Chicago Restaurant, you can truly taste the love that the chefs at Tru bring to the table. My husband took me here on our our engagement night and I received Tru: A Cookbook from the Legendary Chicago Restaurant for our 6 month anniversary. I was blown away by the experience itself at the restaurant and Tru: A Cookbook from the Legendary Chicago Restaurant touches on everything that intrigued me while I was there. You can truly see the passion that these chefs bring into the restaurant and the care and time they take in making dinner a very memorable one. I believe that Tru: A Cookbook from the Legendary Chicago Restaurant will help me further my education in cooking and add on to my already burning passion for food. Highly recommend the book. You will get a better understanding and appreciation for the restaurant. If you haven't visited Tru already, an unforgettable experience awaits ... Read More
Excellent Restaurant Book for Foodies and Pros
`Tru' by Rick Tramonto, pastry partner Gale Gand and writer Mary Goodbody is a book purely for foodies and professionals. The sure signs of this are the fact that the recipes are presented almost exactly as they are done in the restaurant, with all the special ingredients and equipment a home cook is not likely to have available such as foaming canisters, caviar, truffles, and presentation dishes which are custom made for the Tru restaurant.
This does not mean this is a poor book. It only means that its audience is limited. It is more limited than even Thomas Keller's two restaurant books in that the `French Laundry' cookbook gives more insights into the phenomenology of eating and very high end food handling and preparation techniques. ...
