[[Gagnaire: Reflections on Culinary Artistry]] [By: Benedict Beauge] [November, 2003] Hardcover – 2 Dec. 2003

This book was kind of a deception... just a few reflections through a combination of high quality photographs (more directed towards artistry rather than to show a particular dish) and product combination, oftenly raw, that tend to show the "inmediate cuisine" he has for long proclaimed.I would rather go for the exceptional "La Cuisine Inmediate", if you can find it, or the spectacular "L'Invention de la Cuisine", a DVD in which Michel Bras, Olivier Roellinger and Gagnaire show how they create dishes.

this book is for the photo people only!!!!! i have many upmarket cookbooks ie alinea, el bulli. but this is just like the thought for food foood for thought book. it is purely an food art book which me personally as a chef i find not to good at all!

Não tem receitas. Só fotos e algumas reflexoes.

This is not a cookbook. This is more of a collection of thoughts from the mind of one of the most poetic chefs. Extremely thoughtful and would be appreciated by most high level fine dining chef who want a glimpse into Pierre Gagnaire's mind accompanied by great photography without recipes

The pictures are beautiful, extraordinary,yet I Whish I was able to see the whole plate and see the dish in the visual.
