This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks. Jean-Georges Vongerichten has an amazing palate. Some of his cooking techniques and flavor combinations may be somewhat unusual but they are spot on. I've had this book for a number of years and have made many of the recipes. They are delicious.

This is a terrific book of simply prepared sophisticated food. What prompted me to write was the review below concerning the apple confit. The recipe works. It's a ton of work, but if you follow directions (with adjustments, perhaps, for your own kitchen equipment) you get a desert that will impress any crowd. Most of the other recipes work just as well. When dealing with sophisticated food like this one needs to understand how to balance flavors and adjust technique. Probably not a book for beginners.
For a home cook book I would have liked to have seen pmore photos of the finished product as most people are visual readers when it comes to cookbooks. We get excited about creating beutiful food like in the "picture"
recipes are great and really stretch the home refrigerator
be prepared to go out and grab a few things from the grocery store
