The Cookbook
Hardcover
COOKING/Methods / Gourmet
Full color throughout ###
The first cookbook from one of the world's most groundbreaking chefs and a pioneering restaurant on the Lower East Side--the story of Wylie Dufresne';s wd~50 and the dishes that made it famous ###
When it opened in 2003, wd~50 was New York's most innovative, cutting-edge restaurant. Mastermind Wylie Dufresne ushered in a new generation of experimental and free-spirited chefs, and introduced a wildly unique approach to cooking, influenced by science, art, and the humblest of classic foods like bagels and lox, and American cheese. A cookbook that doubles as a time capsule, wd~50 is a glimpse into a particular moment in New York City food culture, embodied by a restaurant so distinct it inspired New York Times critic Pete Wells to compare its closing in 2014 to that of the notorious music venue CBGB,--with way nicer bathrooms.
With gorgeous photography, detailed recipes explaining Wylie’s icon
