Bouchon By Thomas Keller. This is a book to cherish, with its alluring mix of recipes and the author's knowledge, warmth, and wit. So let your imagination transport you back to the burnished warmth of an old-fashioned French bistro, pull up a stoool to the zinc bar or slide into a barquette, and treat yourself to truly great preparations that have not just withstood the vagaries of fashion, but have improved with time. Welcome to Bouchon.
