Sally Schmitt founded and ran the French Laundry with her husband for 16 years before they sold it to Thomas Keller but this isn't fancy restaurant cookery. Sally's not above doctoring up jarred mayo with a bit of toasted sesame oil to make a delicious and simple sauce for fresh asparagus.
I had more to say about the hard copy of this book over here. It's a delight to read and everything I've cooked from it has been quite good.
