Bouchon Cookbook Unveiled

Thomas Keller just released The Bouchon Cookbook! It’s incredibly hot, I have to say. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. (You should probably all go out and buy this wonderful new text and, yes– I’ll be happy to autograph them for you). Even though the book is oversized, I’m pretty sure it would fit inside my stocking…but if not there, I’m sure there would be ample room under our Christmas tree should someone (Santa are you reading this?!?) deign to put one there. Ahem.

I’m not big on owning eight million cookbooks, but having a few professional-quality references on hand never hurt anyone. To that end, I would just like to point out that The French Laundry Cookbook is also on sale right now, and that TFL is definitely in the professional-quality-reference-book category. (I’m willing to bet that would fit under our tree as well, though it could be a tight fit…).

    No, Ben! Not at all! I LOVE getting cookbooks–especially in the mail from old college chums! I just don’t like spending money on them myself, see. Unfortunately I will not be making any Turkey day pilgrimages this year, and will be spending the holiday in the heat trap. 🙂 Should be interesting! We already have over 200 reservations for dinner at Bouchon on Thanksgiving day!! Who eats Turkey in Vegas on purpose, I ask you?!

    12 People, Carrie?! Lordie! You’re going to need at least two pomegranates.

    Well I had christmas dinner in vegas a couple years ago. Somewhere off strip, but I can’t remember the name of the place. I can’t remember if we ever ate at the venitian at all or not. Might have gotten ice cream while watching the boat guys sing one day. Oh, and glad you like the book. Hope you have a good holiday, even if you have to work.
