Relæ: A Book of Ideas by Christian F. Puglisi
4.0
Interesting ideas, a nice story about how he and his restaurant got where they are. A little stiff in the writing and a little too much "I thought of this first" kind of feeling for thing that probably predated his birth. But enjoyable nonetheless. There are no "recipes" per se - there are descriptions of dishes with general outlines of how they're made, but no proportions or measurements or detailed methods. It's more of a chef's workbook.
Oops - I have to edit this. It was a vagary of the Kindle format - when it hit the end of these chef's workbook notes, it flipped to "rate this book" as if it was over. I was about to delete it when I realized that it showed I was only 60% of the way through the book - I went back into it, and all the recipes are there, detailed, as an appendix, which the Kindle format had coded as outside the text of the book. So, there are recipes!
