Description

“An improbable reference for home cooks, young chefs, and seasoned pros alike. Kitchen Creativity should be in everyone’s library.” – Eric Ripert, chef and co-owner of Le Bernardin and New York Times bestselling creator of 32 Yolks

Unlock your creative potential with the world’s most imaginative chefs.
In this groundbreaking exploration of culinary genius, the authors of The Flavor Bible reveal the surprising strategies great chefs use to do what they do best. Beyond a cookbook, Kitchen Creativity is a paradigm-shifting guide to inventive cooking (without recipes!) so one can inspire you to think, improvise, and cook like the world’s best chefs.
Great cooking is as much about intuition and imagination as it’s about flavor and technique. Kitchen Creativity distills brilliant insights into these creative processes from more than 100 top restaurant kitchens, including the Bazaar, Blue Hill,
Daniel, Dirt Candy, Eleven Madison Park and the NoMad, Gramercy Tavern, the Inn at Little Washington, Le Bernardin, Oleana, Rustic Canyon, Saison, Single Thread, and Topolobampo.
Based on four years of extensive research and dozens of in-depth interviews, Kitchen Creativity illuminates the method (and occasional madness) of culinary invention. Part I reveals how to be informed foundational skills, including how one can appreciate, taste, and season classic dishes (Stage 1: Mastery), before reinventing the classics from a new point of view (Stage 2: Alchemy). Einstein’s secret of genius-combinatory play-pushes chefs to develop unique creations and heighten their outer and inner senses (Stage 3: Creativity). Part II’s A-to-Z entries are an invaluable culinary idea generator, with exercises to prompt new imaginings.
You’ll also discover:
  • experts’ criteria for creating new dishes, desserts, and drinks;
  • comprehensive seasonality charts to spark inspiration throughout the year;
  • how to season food like a pro, and how one can create complex yet balanced layers of flavor;
  • the amazing true stories of historic dishes, like how desperate maitre d’ “Nacho” Anaya invented nachos; and
  • proven easy methods to jump-start your creative process.
The ultimate reference for culinary brainstorming, Kitchen Creativity will spur your creativity to new heights, both within the kitchen and beyond.
