The key to recreating a world-class dining experience is arming yourself with the knowledge as world-class chefs. Many of the cookbooks are signed by Chef Keller, so they make thoughtful and unique gifts.

The French Laundry Cookbook - Signed by Chef Keller

From innovative soup techniques to a wild and thoroughly unexpected take on coffee and doughnuts, The French Laundry Cookbook captures, through recipes, essays, profiles and extraordinary photography, one of America's great restaurants, its great chef and the food that makes both unique. This book contains 150 exact recipes from The French Laundry kitchen – no shortcuts have been taken, no critical steps ignored and all have been thoroughly tested in home kitchens. If you can’t get to The French Laundry, you can now recreate, at home, the very experience Wine Spectator described as “as close to dining perfection as it gets.”
