Recently published chef/restaurants books ?

[oferl]

Looking again for more ideas in this category 🙂 I try to follow closely but things seems to be a bit quiet lately,

any interesting big and very heavy "coffee table candidates" published by brilliant chefs lately "-) ? Thx !

From the Rancho Gordo kitchen, The Bean Book by Steve Sando with Julia Newberry.

I have enjoyed and have others of his books. I got this from the library, but I'll find my own copy soon.

Great question! These two come to mind, Clifford A Wright's not a Chef but it is a well researched tome! In addition, the Keller Per Se book, Let's eat France is a fantastic coffee table book I refer to it often and it rarely lives on the bookshelf. Oh, if you are good with French anything that Chihiro Masui co-authors will be fantastic

Thanks 🙂 We exchanged here posts in the past about Chihiro's books and i have most of the stuff she

worked on, the missing ones became out of print and far too expensive to consider now.  

I collect the "heavy books" and raise this question every couple of years to try and fish for something 

unique and innovative that i might have missed.. In the past there used to be a dedicated yearly thread 

with great information and suggestions but lately things seem quieter 🙂  

There are some things i consider currently but not sure if someone here bought and have experience with, 

like Jan : Labor Der Liebe from chef Jan Hartwig, in German.. The Korean cookbook by Junghyun Park seems very interesting 

but not sure how "innovative" it is vs traditional Korean.. Essence by gelato/pastry chef Jesus Escalera also of high interest, as i love

all things gelato 🙂 Will see, maybe hints to something new soon also from Mrs. Masui..

It is pretty quite for people that collect the Chefy books recently. Have you looked into the Ferran Adria books? It's sold out but I really am interested in this one.

There are also fantastic cookbooks coming out of Spain if you haven't explored yet. Check out the publisher Montagud
