Benu - Corey Lee

Benu - Corey Lee

In limba engleza.

Prima carte despre restaurantul Benu din San Francisco, cu trei stele Michelin, si despre bucatarul sau Corey Lee considerat de David Chang unul dintre cei mai buni chefi de pe planeta si votat Best Chef of the Year de catre revista Eater.

De cand a plecat pe propria cale, de la renumitul restaurant French Laundry al lui Thomas Keller, in anul 2010, Corey Lee si-a faurit un mod de a gati unic, premiat de James Beard Foundation, care combina la perfectiune mostenirea sa sud coreeana cu educatia pe care a primit-o in SUA.

Benu este o carte ce ilustreaza in mod superb ordinea de servire a menu-ului de degustare, de 33 de servicii conceput de Lee, oferind acces la tot zbuciumul si ritmul bucatariei si salii de mese de la restaurantului Benu. Prefetele scrise de Thomas Keller si David Chang sunt acompaniate de fotografii si mici eseuri scrise de Lee, detaliind influentele culturale, inspiratia si motivatia din spatele abordarii sale “East-meets-West”.

Packed with over 150 beautifully shot images, no detail has been spared, even the cover has been designed to highlight the Shanghai dumpling, xiao long bao." - Fine Dining Lovers 

"Gorgeous [...]. A book to keep on the coffee table and marvel at." - SF Weekly 

"Beautifully photographed, it is evocative, taking you along on Lee's personal and culinary journey." - Epoch Times 

Despre autor:

Corey Lee, nascut in anul 1977 in Coreea de Sud si crescut in Statele Unite ale Americii, este bucatarul sef de la Benu, unul dintre cele mai apreciate restaurante din SUA si unul dintre foarte putinele cu trei stele Michelin. Preparatele de la Benu sunt influentate de propria experienta a lui Lee, rezultand o bucatarie americana de inspiratie asiatica, eclectica si creativa, care exploreaza indentitatea, cultura si apartenenta. Avand experienta lucrului la cele mai renumite restaurante din Anglia, Franta si SUA, inclusiv la restaurantul French Laundry al lui Thomas Keller, propriul restaurant al lui Lee a fost proclamat ca urmatorul mare restaurant american atat de catre New York Times cat si de Wall Street Journal.
