Nice.By Wild Thing FoodieI bought this instead of his Eleven Madison Park cookbook. Glad I did. It compliments my New York cookbook that I bought years ago. Quite an undertaking; but glad to read it through the eyes of Daniel Humm. As it is will be used more of a coffee table book; I wouldn't pay full price for it. Glad I bought it heavily discounted from a second seller.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful bookBy celineS.Disclaimer: I will not talk about the recipes themselves as we haven't cooked one yet. I got this as a Christmas gift to my husband as it a beautiful object first. There are so many cookbooks out there; you might as well gift a pretty one. When I went through the pages I saw almost all of the recipes had images which I know is important for the person the gift was intended to. I also loved the fact that it features farms from the NY state; and that some of the recipes were around products we don't find commonly in American cookbooks like foie gras. Great buy!
