Notes about this book

    Pommes Pallasson- a fancy name for rosti. This is my go to recipe for a winter favorite, usually served with sauteed greens and runny eggs. A well seasoned cast iron skillet and starchy (like russet) potatoes are a must.

  • Corn madeleines with cracked black pepper

      What an elegant way to serve corn bread with your soup, bisque or chili. These little cornbreads were excellent, full of corn flavor from the puréed corn kernels and not too sweet. I only have one 12-hole Madeleine pan, so I put the rest of the batter in mini muffin tins which was suggested as the alternate shape. I got 12 madeleines and 15 mini muffins. I was also stingy with the black pepper, I only used about a quarter of the specified amount. There were no humps in the madeleines, may be because they were cornbreads. Sorry about the blurry photo, was in a hurry.

  • Grilled potatoes

      This is a really nice way to grill baby potatoes, and you can definitely dial back the oil. Did not get too much flavor from the garlic or herbs though.

    The price might make you balk as well. But think of it as an investment. Sometimes you want to save up and buy a good piece of meat for a special meal, instead of buying many cheaper everyday cuts.

Publishers Text

An intimate look at the life of celebrated chef Hubert Keller, through 120 inspiring recipes, personal stories, myriad photographs, and other memorabilia.

Souvenirs is a memoir cookbook written by the multitalented Hubert Keller: chef, restaurateur, and Frenchman. Through personal stories and 120 recipes, the book explores his classical training and traces his development as a creative superstar chef. Keller apprentices in a Michelin three star–rated restaurant at the age of 16. He moves from his native Alsace to southern France, and is inspired by the cuisine of the sun while working with the great French chefs of his time, Roger Vergé, Paul Bocuse, and Gaston Lenôtre. He learns to adapt to challenging new environments in South America, and the United States, and charts his own path into the newest frontiers of the restaurant business. The book is organized by seminal themes in his life; it starts with his family in France, and ends back there in the “Holiday” chapter. The myriad recipes, which have been adapted for the home cook, are intertwined with 125 of Eric Wolfinger's luscious images of family and friends, food and cuisine, and the places and landscapes of France, Las Vegas, and San Francisco, which all make up chef Keller’s life.
