A personal look at a day in the life of renowned chef Daniel Boulud, this unique volume follows Daniel and his staff from morning to night through one fast-paced late spring day. Beginning at 6 a.m. with the first fish delivery, we travel with the chef to markets in search of seasonal offerings, to the kitchen to see the intricate preparation of his acclaimed cuisine and, finally, to the dining rooms of each of his New York City restaurants. Here, for the first time, Daniel gives us a collection of recipes from all three of his award-winning restaurants: the revered and elegant Daniel; the innovative French-American Cafe Boulud; and the casual-chic db Bistro Moderne. This lavish cookbook with its revealing photos offers a rare glimpse into the inspirations, experiences and recipes that make up this dynamic chef's unforgettable cooking and entertaining style.
