4.0 out of 5 stars Foie gras to the masses!, December 16, 2007

By	Maxime Lachance (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From one of the great chef of this generation, we finally have a first cookbook. Perhaps more a coffee table book or a promotional artefact for the restaurant than a true cookbook, this book remains an extaordinary read. It features all the foie gras recipes that make the fame of au Pied de Cochon and is admirably illustrated and designed. The English and French version differs in that the English version does not include the comic strip (not a great loss). The version I got came with a DVD which is woth listening to... try to get a version with the DVD if you can.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tribute, October 3, 2008

By	Michael Stashwick - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Au Pied de Cochon: The Album (Paperback)

I'm a big fan of this book. While many of the recipes are difficult to recreate, why would we want to go to a restaurant that had easy recipes? As 'restaurant books' go this is a wonderful tribute with great art work. It's a wonderful conversation piece to have in any foodie's collection. Great gift!

4.0 out of 5 stars very good read, September 9, 2009

By	Joseph S. Daniel "Poutine fan" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Au Pied de Cochon: The Album (Paperback)

Excellent book with both good stories, great recipes, and good imagery of the restaurant. I'm planning a trip to Montreal soon and this place will be the highlight of my trip.

While some of the recipes might be hard to follow, or require a trip to a specialty store, it's definitely worth giving a try.

The backstories to each new section are also very entertaining, by far this is my favorite cookbook I own if for nothing else it's entertaining.
