Essential Cuisine

Shane Osborn

Chef

For me this book was a bit if a game changer. The photography/styling used canvas instead of plates which made the food look incredible. His use of wild leaves and herbs was way ahead of the current foraging phenomenon.

Michael O'Hare

Chef

I remember reading this book for the first time , every picture could have easily been a painting. His style is so beautiful that it hasn't aged at all and like the work of all great artists becomes timeless

Francisco Migoya

Head Chef at The Cooking Lab

Few chefs have had as strong of an influence on cooking as chef Bras. Much of his style and technique is still used in many kitchens to this day.

Dakota Weiss

This book and the cuisine of Chef Michel rocked my world when it came to ideas of how to plate food. The photography alone is jaw dropping.
