A Return to Cooking
aj12754 from Montclair, NJ
This is a really interesting cookbook to read, but more for the insights it offers into the mind and palate of a great chef. Eric Ripert strongly believes in finding his inspiration in the resources around him (as you can see in his new series for PBS, Avec Eric, which I highly recommend -- he is a charming guy with a passion for cooking and a real zest for life that is infectious). This book shows him at work in Puerto Rico, Napa, Vermont and Sag Harbor. I may not make a lot of these recipes but I am enjoying making the journey to these places along with Eric. The text is accompanied by wonderful paintings (by an artist friend of Ripert's) and photographs.
