This is a beautiful and inspiring book but not the kind of cooking most people would do at home on a daily basis. This is less a review than an suggestion that anyone interested in cooking from this book might want to pay a visit to Carol Blymire's blog, frenchlaundryathome.com. Blymire is a passionate and skilled home cook who ooked every recipe in this book over a period of many months. She recounts her successes, her failures, photographs the process and the results, and generally helps anyone interested in cooking from this book to anticipate the hurdles and rewards.
Blymire is currently cooking her way through Alinea and is documenting her experience in the blog alineaathome.com.
Oh -- I have cooked one recipe from this book to date, the gazpacho. It is a smooth (not just blended but strained as well) rather than chunky version. I loved the fresh flavor and it makes a wonderful summer starter served in expresso cups.
