A Very Serious Cookbook
January 7, 2019 by JennyA Very Serious Cookbook: Contra Wildair by Jeremiah Stone and Fabián von Hauske is a tale of two places beloved by chefs and foodies worldwide – Lower East Side tasting-menu restaurant Contra, and its more casual sister, Wildair. The chefs are known for their seasonal cooking style, boundary-pushing creativity, and love of natural wine. This book provides a snap shot of two New York restaurant chefs and what makes them tick.
These recipes are not for the faint of heart. They require some skill and planning. While more approachable than some high-end restaurant cookbooks, the dishes here are impressive and unlike any others that your dinner guests (or yourself) will experience. This is a book for the adventurous cook – the one who wants to push the envelope and expand their culinary horizons. All of the above is delivered with witty narrative, fun graphics and gorgeous photographs.
