Here's a cookbook destined to be talked-about this season, rich in techniques and recipes epitomizing the way we cook and eat now. Bar Tartine—co-founded by Tartine Bakery's Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt—is obsessed over by locals and visitors, critics and chefs. It is a restaurant that defies categorization, but not description: Everything is made in-house and layered into extraordinarily flavorful food.
Helmed by Nick Balla and Cortney Burns, it draws on time-honored processes (such as fermentation, curing, pickling), and a core that runs through the cuisines of Central Europe, Japan, and Scandinavia to deliver a range of dishes from soups to salads, to shared plates and sweets. Fans of inventive spice mixes will find some very seductive combinations here, like skillet-charred eggplant and chiles, dehydrated and ground to a powder. The dishes they offer are humble yet freshly imaginative: potato and green bean soup; brussel sprouts with dried tuna and tonnato sauce; crepe cake with apple butter, farmer’s cheese, and pecans. With more than 150 photographs, this highly anticipated cookbook is a true original.
