Customer Reviews

Utterly dazzling
"Visionary" is not a word I tend to use for chefs, but there is no other term for Trotter's achievements. What boggles the mind isn't the full recipes themselves, necessarily (although they are quite mindblowing), but the little discoveries throughout, like poaching garlic in milk before roasting (!). Be warned: committing to preparing any one of these recipes is opening a VERY LARGE can of worms. Be warned further: it's definitely worth it.

incredible chef and book
this book is an incredible source for techniquues and motivation. Trotter is of cousre a perfectionist and his passion for cooking is seen through this book. Each component is carefully balanced so that a full and maximum flavor is achieved. Also, don't be afraid of the book, you don't have to follow each recipe step by step-let it inspire you.

for passionate cooks only
This book gave me the push I needed four years ago, and helped me develop my own style of cooking. Charlie Trotter is culinary hero, and as a working chef I can say that this book inspired my cooking more than any other. It is definately a must have for any chef or serious cook.
