Hey guys. I'm waiting out he hurricane here on the east coast so I decided to pick up a book I haven't checked out on a while. I used to think that bourdains les halles cookbook was a really nice looking and cool book, but the more I pick it up, I gotta upgrade it to necessary reading. It's just so nice to hear about classical technique talked about in bourdains trademark candid and often abrasive style. The recipes are killer, and while some of them you may have to make special arrangements for, most of these are things we can all do with a little practice. It's a little pricier than some books, but it's a beautiful hardback with great page feel and photos. Please pick it up.
