Daniel Boulud is a world-renowned French chef based in New York.  He owns restaurants in New York, Miami, Palm Beach, London, Toronto, and Singapore.  He has won James Beard Foundation awards for “Outstanding Restaurant” (for Daniel in 2010), “Outstanding Restaurateur” (2006), “Best Chef, New York City” (1992), and “Outstanding Chef of the Year” (1994).  The French government made him a Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur in 2006.  He has served on the board of City-Meals-on-Wheels since 2000, and he received a “Culinary Humanitarian” award in 2007.  Boulud is also co-founder and chairman of the Bocuse d’Or USA Foundation.

Daniel Boulud, one of America’s most respected and successful chefs, delivers a definitive, yet personal cookbook on his love of French food.
From coming of age as a young chef to adapting French cuisine to American ingredients and tastes, Daniel Boulud reveals how he expresses his culinary artistry at Restaurant Daniel. With more than 75 signature recipes, plus an additional 12 recipes Boulud prepares at home for his friends on more casual occasions,

Included in the cookbook are diverse and informative essays on such subjects as bread and cheese (bien sûr), and, by Bill Buford, a thorough and humorous look at the preparation of 10 iconic French dishes, from Pot au Feu Royale to Duck a la Presse..  The book includes more than 120 gorgeous photographs capturing the essence of Boulud’s cuisine and the spirit of restaurant Daniel, as well as a glimpse into Boulud’s home kitchen.
