Alinea
A completely over-the-top cookbook by a completely over-the-top restaurant. Alinea is to Chicago what Per Se is to New York. You’ll spend a fortune, but you truly will have an unforgettable experience (I’ve never eaten at either, but my friend went to Per Se once). Extraordinary photography: of the dishes, work in the kitchen, dining room, etc. Amazing presentations, unusual and unheard of flavor combinations, and a lot of other really cool stuff. There are tons of recipes but don’t expect to actually be able to use any of them. Not at home at least. |
