Gabriel Kreuther is the cookbook fans of the James Beard Award-winning chef have long been waiting for. From one of the most respected chefs in the United States, this cookbook showcases the recipes inspired by Kreuther's French-Swiss-German training and refined global style, one that embraces the spirits of both Alsace, his homeland, and New York City, his adopted home.

Recipes include everything from the chef's take on classic Alsatian food like the delicious Flammekueche (or Tarte FlambΓ©e) and hearty Baeckeoffe (a type of casserole stew) to modern dishes like the flavourful Roasted Button Mushroom Soup served with Toasted Chorizo Raviolis and the decadent Salmon Roe Beggar's Purse garnished with Gold Leaf.

Featuring personal stories from the chef's childhood in France and career in New York, as well as stunning photography, Gabriel Kreuther is the definitive resource for Alsatian cooking worthy of fine dining.
