Toronto Cooks

"Dozens of our greatest chefs, from veteran to rising star, have generously shared their fan-favourite, personally tested recipes, ranging from the decadent (The Grove's foie gras, hibiscus, beet and lingonberry) to the sublime (Momofuku Milk Bar's Crack Pie). This collection covers the entire menu, with starters (prawns from Amaya, Richmond Station's country terrine), soups (Tabule's lemony lentil), salads (roasted mushroom from Splendido), entrées (Bymark's fennel-crusted black cod), desserts (Edulis's baba au rhum), and even a cocktail or two (Geraldine's Charlemagne). An amazing compilation that is as diverse as the city itself. Some creations are elevated comfort food (Ruby Watchco's braised short ribs or Pizza Libretto's spicy meatballs), while others are definitely designed to impress (Café Boulud's crispy duck egg à la bourguignonne and Bosk's potato gnocchi with forest mushroom and tomato emulsion). All are spectacular, and ultimately doable for the home chef. Beautifully illustrated throughout"--Provided by publisher.
