"Kitchen Confidential" meets "Heat" in the first behind-the-scenes portrait of the world's best restaurant and the aspiring chefs who toil to make it so exceptional. Elected best restaurant in the world by Restaurant magazine an unprecedented five times, El Bulli is the laboratory of Ferran Adria, the maverick creator of molecular gastronomy. Behind each of the thirty or more courses that make up a meal at El Bulli is a small army of young cooks who do the work of executing Adria's vision in exchange for nothing more than the chance to learn at his hands. Granted unprecedented access to this guild system, Lisa Abend follows the thirty-five stagiaries of the 2009 season as they struggle to master the grueling hours, cutting-edge techniques, and interpersonal tensions that come with working at the most revered restaurant on earth.

Alan Richman shares highlights from his career as food critic for "GQ" magazine and other publications, discussing chefs and waiters, cooking schools, celebrities, and other topics.

"A recipe is a snapshot, capturing place, people, and time. In the case of a family's or group's recipes, the written instructions evoke images of celebrations, of family members and friends, of menus and kitchen conversations. And they can come together as an heirloom to be treasured. In The Keepsake Cookbook, cookbook author and storyteller Belinda Hulin provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for collecting both oral and written recipes, as well as photographs and memorabilia-and then for organizing a cookbook and putting it into a format to be used and shared. In addition, Hulin gives advice on capturing family or group history, gently interviewing relatives and friends, and tapping your own memories in order to enrich the end product. She even includes basic recipe times, tips, and measures to help writers turn casual instructions into fully realized recipes. "--.
