Synopsis:

Simplifying traditional French cooking with the use of five basic building blocks, the chef at New York's Restaurant Lafayette offers more than two hundred simple and original recipes

Reviews: Vongerichten is the inspired chef of Lafayette, one of New York City's four-star restaurants. Rather than using traditional sauces, he has created an array of unusual vegetable (and a few fruit) juices and vinaigrettes, broths, and flavored oils. From these easily prepared basics, he makes Lobster with Asparagus Juice and Salmon Leaves with Rosemary Oil, along with accompaniments like Crisps of Risotto or Potato/Basil Puree. These are not exactly "simple" dishes, and some require expensive ingredients, but they are uncomplicated enough for the home cook--and they are superb. Highly recommended. HomeStyle Books alternate.
