A solid read, with recipes that just plain work. I decided to do two from the now unfortunately-closed Gavroche, and perfect is an accurate description of the result. I still do a quick Soufflé using that recipe.

Robert Beckham’s Dry-aged rib-eye recipe has a “Gentleman’s Butter” that just works, and remember well my dinners at Fuel (alas also closed ...) late after a long day.

The recipes are all excellent.
