In Chef Dominique Ansel’s first cookbook, Dominique Ansel: The Secret Recipes, he shows it is more than just the Cronut ® craze. The book traces the inspiration of a chef whose creative process is rooted in a deep philosophy of good food and whose classical training also reflects a generous sprinkling of risk taking and innovation. With a collection of short essays, each with lessons as to how to create and not just imitate, the book also contains some of the most sought after recipes from the Chef’s bakery.
