thomas keller
We're big fans of Thomas Keller's cooking and culinary enterprises and if you're of the same opinion I offer a few tidbits for your pleasure:
+ A nicely executed "chef profile" feature on epicurious.com includes an interview, cooking demos, and my favorite, a tour of the Per Se kitchens. The cooking demo and kitchen tour clips are particularly good because they're more than snippets, and the quality is high.
+ I missed the Keller booksigning event coordinated by LACMA, but The Food Section featured a nice write-up of it.
+ The dishes that Keller has designed for Raynaud of Limoges are available, at least via Gump's (SF) and Bergdorf Goodman (NYC). A peek is available on the French Laundry site, and if you've eaten risotto at the French Laundry you know that the claim to have the perfect risotto dish is not puffery!
+ New York Magazine's piece on Per Se and on the fire that hit just as it was about to open.
