We started cooking in the 90’s. This was before the internet. We had to buy books. We had to stage. We had to share stories. We had to eat out and collect menus. These are a few highlights from our library from that era:
– David Bouley
– Alice Waters
– Ferran Adria
– Deborah Madison
– Tom Colicchio
– Paula Wolfert
– Charlie Trotter
– Madeleine Kamman
– Thomas Keller
– Nancy Silverton and Mark Peel
– David Burke
– Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken
– Jasper White
– Anne Rosenzweig
– Jean Louis Palladin
– Karen Page & Andrew Dornenburg (Everybody was reading Becoming a Chef.)
– Daniel Boulud
– Claudia Rodin
– Stephen Pyles
– Madhur Jaffrey
– Mark Miller
– Judy Rogers
– Jean Georges Vongerichten
– Patricia Wells
– Richard Olney
– Carol Field
