Review title: One of the Greatest Chefs...not so great book.
Product review: As much as I loved the food at Napa and the Watergate. This book is not a book for the serious cook/chef. When the recipe for stock includes V-8 juice, one knows the recipes have been completely overhauled for the "cooking for dummies" dummy. Also, not significant to the quality of the book, the photos, although artistic are not realistic. Never had I ordered a plate a one of Jean-Louis Palladin's restaurants and received such overly manicured food. I believe the photos were designed to appeal to those who appreciate the style of the 1980's. Save your money and purchase one of Ducasses' books.
