Alinea: Grant Achatz

One word - Incredible!

Great book for chefs and people interested in food. Very inspirational and exciting with completely different ideas and dishes. Achatz is a brilliant chef who I've always watched on YouTube. The quality of the book is top draw aswell! Really reccomend this especially if you're a chef and want to up you're game and steal a few ideas!

Amazing and beautiful book full of recipes you never make. But who cares when you try some of the elements of the dishes, and they are shown great in this book. I like it like Hestons Blumenthals book. True inspiration for the foodie. Dont buy it if you wanna make food i 30 min. But If you wanna a know what a Master Chef like Grant Achatz thinking when he creates dishes, menues etc. Then this is a must. a dream builder for visiting Alinea and Chicago.

As a professional chef i think we can only sit down and get lost in Grant Achatz's book. Super detailed infinity of recipes. Lots lots of knowledge. Some dishes they have 5 pages of recipe. If you love molecular kitchen that's one of the best book you should buy.

Incredible recipes and stunning photos from Grant Achatz & Alinea. A perfect coffee table book - has visitors in awe when reading it

👍🏼

In the afternoon one day, the next day at one a clock a man belt on my door: "Here is a pack from England, and this after the Concords deaths. I'm much contended.

Stunning book. A must have for foodies like me. The price is amazing too.

G. Achatz has a truly amazing brain!! I consider myself able to read well, follow recipes exactly, and be a fairly decent home cook (albeit probably not to any fabulous chefs nor my family). This book took my breath away!! ALINEA has absolutely beautiful pictures, amazingly detailed recipes, and wonderful text and content!!! But, I don’t think I will ever be able to successfully make anything in it. Each recipe is written so that its outcome will be a magnificent and delicious result of the creative mind of G.A. I completely understand that fact, hence why I bought the book. But, due to my limited cooking abilities I would ruin the integrity of the recipe, the genius that created it, and my result would most likely be inedible. My New Year’s resolution will be to try to make and enjoy one of his recipes! BUT, I promise not to share (or photograph) said results, because in doing so I would embarrass myself and/or be disrespectful to the Author!! Thank you G.A. for a fabulous and beautiful book!! P.S. Another New Year’s resolution will be to totally lie and tell everyone I made the recipes...and the results were delicious and fabulous!!!

Within moments of opening up this book, it is quite easy to see why Grant Achatz (rhymes with jackets) is one of the true pioneers of modern cooking. Everything is cutting edge. The recipes are difficult to follow, but with a little perseverance they are attainable. (try to remember that everything is available on the internet). The flavour combinations often seem strange but they almost always work beautifully. It is truly a look into the mind of a culinary genius. One recipe pairs Beef with orange and a few other seemingly random, scattered flavours. It is only upon reading the text that you find he has broken down a popular steak sauce to its bare ingredients to create this dish. This book will not be for everyone, but if you are serious about pushing the envelope of your culinary abilities, this is for you. Well worth every penny!!

Libro molto ben fatto, con fotografie molto precise, ed una descrizione assai accurata delle procedure da seguire. Rimane un libro dei sogni, certo - ben poche ricette sono realizzabili al di fuori di un laboratorio di chimica - ma la lettura è di per sé affascinante.

One of the my dream book, I got very surprised discount, thank you Amazon

Recommend it for a pro chef, as a home cook won't have MANY of the things necessary to complete these dishes - but it is a treat to witness the absolute cutting edge of the modern culinary world. Chef Grant Achatz pushes the envelope daily and is a role model to many aspiring chefs. A peek into the kitchen of Alinea is a rare thing, this makes it possible to improve a chef's way of thinking.
