This review is from: Haute Cuisine Paris: Les Etoiles de Paris (Hardcover)

This is an absolute must have for those who do a lot of travel and culinary excursions to France. Almost every michelin starred chef in Paris is featured (save Alain Ducasse, but he has enough books) with an in depth interview and three or four recipes from each chef. Photography and binding quality is first rate. Many of the chefs featured do not have books of their own, so this is really the only way you'll get a peak into their culinary style and execution. Highly recommended for those who can't make up which restaurant to visit first.

This review is from: Haute Cuisine Paris (English and French Edition) (Hardcover)

Highlighting ten Michelin starred restaurants in Paris, this lovely volume combines high quality presentation, splendid photographs of the restaurant interiors and some of their signature dishes with excellent commentary, stunning recipes and interviews with the star chefs. As an added bonus, the text is dual French/English so the reader has ample opportunity to refresh his knowledge of the French language. The translation of the recipes is included in an appendix.

This luxurious volume offers both a nostalgic return to those who know these restaurants as well as the joyful anticipation of a first visit.
