Cookbooks 2013

[teonzo]

I just purchased the Coi cookbook. For some reason we get some books in Australia before they're released in the US.

Just received an e-mail from Amazon UK, it should be here next week, sweet!

Yesterday I found there is another fine dining book coming out this November:

Judging from the photos it seems really interesting.

Other 2 cookbooks that will be released in the next weeks:

Antonio Bachour - "Bachour"

Amazon page

Official page

I love the stuff that chef Bachour puts up online, his desserts are great, so this will be a sure buy from me. Too bad it's not available on Amazon UK and I'll have to import.

Arnold Hanbucker, Karen Keygnaert - "A'Qi: A Kitchen Dialogue"

Amazon page

Official page

I read some reviews online and this restaurant seems interesting. The problem about this book is that it's a bit expensive (if compared to current restaurant books), it has few pages and should be tri-lingual. Not the best value for money...

Gotta say the pic of all the little stuff in the glasses does absolutely nothing for me.

Agreed 100%, that cover is far from being a good choice. But if you look at his blog (not updated from a long time) and his facebook you'll find a lot of great stuff (at least to my eyes). If this book will be on par with what he put on the blog, then I'll be really happy. Especially because there aren't much books on modern plated desserts.

Alice Medrich has a new book on chocolate coming out at the end of this month:

Seriously Bitter Sweet: The Ultimate Dessert Maker's Guide to Chocolate

I always heard good things about her, but never bought any of her previous books. Any suggestion?

The blog does look good so I will keep an open mind as I am a freak for dessert and pastry books. I have Alice Medrich's first book, never been inspired to buy another

There are quite a lot of cookbooks coming out in France this autumn (some in the past weeks, some in the next). All of them are in French language, so it can be a problem. I'm copying the link to the original publisher, plus the Amazon.com link where available.

Hugues Pouget , Sylvain Blanc - "Les 5 saisons par Hugo & Victor - Paris"
http://www.editionsduchene.fr/livre/hugues-pouget-les-5-saisons-par-hugo-victor-paris-3237427.html

This duo became quite famous in the past years, I really liked their pastries in the articles of various magazines, so I'll definetely buy it.

Christophe Aribert - "Aribert"
http://www.laymon.fr/#/ouvrages/aribert
Book about this restaurant with 2 michelin stars, the publisher is the same of YAM Magazine (the magazine by Yannick Alleno).


Emmanuel Renaut - "Nature d'un chef"
http://editions.flammarion.com/Albums_Detail.cfm?ID=44829&levelCode=livres
Another michelin starred restaurant, the English edition will come out next year, Amazon link.

Gérald Passédat - "Passédat"
http://editions.flammarion.com/Albums_Detail.cfm?ID=45033&levelCode=livres
Amazon link.

This chef is totally famous, 3 michelin stars in Marseille, he's a master of cooking fish.

Régis Marcon - "Champignons"
http://www.editionsdelamartiniere.fr/ouvrage/champignons/9782732454832
Amazon link.

Another famous 3 starred chef, this book is based only on mushrooms.

Christophe Adam - "Eclair de Génie"
http://www.editionsdelamartiniere.fr/ouvrage/eclair-de-genie/9782732460109
Amazon link.

Christophe Adam is considered to be the king of eclairs, so I suppose and hope this will be the definitive bible on this pastry.


Pierre Hermé - "Ispahan"
http://www.editionsdelamartiniere.fr/ouvrage/ispahan/9782732461847

I'm a bit sceptic on this one... a whole book about the Ispahan? It's a superb pastry, but this book seems to be another try to milk his fans (most probably I will succumb again since I'm dumb).


Audrey Gellet - "Grand Pâtissier"
http://www.editionsdelamartiniere.fr/ouvrage/grand-patissier/9782732460703
Amazon link.

Audrey Gellet is the pastry chef of Maison Pic, the 3 star restaurant lead by Anne-Sophie Pic. She won a television contest, one of the prizes was a book deal. So here it is her book with her recipes, hoping there will be some desserts from Maison Pic.

Guy Martin - "Le Grand Véfour"
http://www.editionsduchene.fr/livre/guy-martin-le-grand-vefour-3237344.html

Book about the history of this historical 2* restaurant, plus actual recipes.

Vincent Lemains - "Les Marquis de Ladurée: l'Esprit chocolat"
http://www.editionsduchene.fr/livre/vincent-lemains-les-marquis-de-laduree-lesprit-chocolat-3238730.html
Another book by Ladurée, this time focused on chocolate. It seems to have the same classy package of the previous books.
