      Used as a base for French onion soup. I cheated and added mushroom bouillon for more flavor. I thought is was a crazy amount of kombu to use, but it wasn't. No seaweed flavor detected in the end result, I was hoping we'd get some of those healthy minerals though since the whole family is sick!

    Crenn is a complex thinker; she talks about the challenges of understanding the painter Kandinsky before dropping the name of another chef. Her food can be equally complex; this text makes it less so.

The debut cookbook from the first female chef in America to earn two Michelin stars

Atelier Crenn is the debut cookbook of Dominique Crenn, the first female chef in America to be awarded two Michelin stars—and arguably the greatest female chef in the country. This gorgeous book traces Crenn’s rise from her childhood in France to her unprecedented success with her own restaurant, Atelier Crenn, in San Francisco. Crenn’s food is centered around organic, sustainable ingredients with an unusual, inventive, and always stunning presentation. To put it simply, Crenn’s dishes are works of art. Her recipes reflect her poetic nature with evocative names like “A Walk in the Forest,” “Birth,” and “The Sea.” Even the dishes that sound familiar, like Fish and Chips, or Broccoli and Beef Tartare, challenge the expected with their surprising components and her signature creative plating. This impressive and beautiful cookbook by a chef who is often the only woman to be mentioned in the same breath with other culinary giants is bound to captivate the food world.
