There is some gorgeous photography; however, I do not think it will help with cooking. The recipes seem very complicated (not for beginners I imagine). I will be saving this one for special occasions, although I do want to go through a few recipes to learn some techniques. ( )

If you are a professional chef, it is awash in this magician's (Keller) philosophy and technique which are fascinating. If you are a home cook, the food may be a little complex but if you read the book as a text rather than a collection of recipes I think you may find it full of information that you can use in your own style of cooking. Like the restaurant, it is about as good as it gets.

Not really for a home/non-professional cook. But it sure is beautiful. ( )

It's pretty.

Gorgeous! I may never make a thing from this book, the one that started it all with big, beautiful food porn, but it sure is fun to look at. ( )
