Description

The first cookbook from one of the crucial world’s most groundbreaking chefs and a pioneering restaurant at the Lower East Side—the tale of Wylie Dufresne’s wd~50 and the dishes that made it famous

When it opened in 2003, wd~50 used to be New York’s most innovative, state-of-the-art restaurant. Mastermind Wylie Dufresne ushered in a new generation of experimental and free-spirited chefs, and introduced a wildly unique strategy to cooking, influenced by science, art, and the humblest of classic foods like bagels and lox, and American cheese. 

 

A cookbook that doubles as a time capsule, wd~50 is a glimpse into a particular moment in New York City food culture, embodied by a restaurant so distinct it inspired New York Times critic Pete Wells to check its closing in 2014 to that of the notorious music venue CBGB, “with way nicer bathrooms.” With gorgeous photography, detailed recipes explaining Wylie’s iconic creations, and stories from the last days of the restaurant, wd~50 is a collectible piece of culinary memorabilia. Fans of Wylie, food lovers, and industry insiders who have been looking ahead to a possibility to relive the excitement and artistry of wd~50 can in spite of everything do just that.
