Review

“By any measure, Paul Liebrandt’s career in the kitchen has been a wild success. But it hasn't been a mad dash toward celebrity, as anyone who reads To the Bone will see. More than a collection of recipes, this impressive book is a coming-of-age story, a narrative that tells of a chef's often painstaking creative growth. Liebrandt spares us any phony glamour, focusing instead on the desire and commitment that restaurant work requires. That's a lot more real than anything you see on ‘reality’ TV.”
—Thomas Keller
 
“Ever since first learning about Paul's cooking while he was Atlas, I have followed him for his no-holds-barred risk-taking style of cooking. It takes a determined and self-confident person to eschew the standard conventions, and by doing so Paul has changed the way people view cooking and its possibilities.”
—Grant Achatz

“Paul is not a categorically ‘French,’ ‘American,’ or ‘British’ chef, but he has absorbed knowledge from three cultures . . . solidifying his reputation as a chef to be reckoned with through his passion and hard work. His food is more than art on the plate—it is an intricate extension of himself . . . and showcases the evolution of one of America’s most creative young chefs today."
—Daniel Boulud
 
“If you’ve ever wondered where the heck a modern chef gets his inspiration from, these pages will give you some idea of how it works. [This is] privileged access to one of the most innovative, skillful, and idiosyncratic chefs in America. . . . Dig in and enjoy.”
—from the foreword by Heston Blumenthal

I agree with those reviewers who have questioned the value of this book for people who hope to cook from it. It is primarily an exercise in autobiography, by a relatively young chef. This may be somewhat presumptuous but, thanks perhaps to his co-author, the writing is clear and engaging. Of the two chefs he dwells on, Marco Pierre White and Pierre Gagnaire, Liebrandt is much more indebted to the latter. Having eaten in the many incarnations of restaurants run by both of these chefs, I personally think this is a shame, because White was by far the greater chef. Liebrandt, following Gagnaire, has taken the path of the deconstructionist, experimental chefs (many of whom practice in the U. S.) rather than those who focus instead on achieving the most intense flavors with comparatively standard dishes. The result is plates that are studded with tiny morsels of a lot of different ingredients, drizzles of sauces, designer arrangements, unobtainable ingredients, cutting-edge professional equipment, etc. One commentator rightly asks how such dishes are even meant to be eaten. We don't have that problem with coq au vin, blanquette de veau, gratin dauphinois, salade frisée, crème caramel, and an endless litany of foods that -- to me at least -- are far more mouthwatering than the sterile, self-conscious arrangements on display here. So, before you buy this tome, be sure that it is what you're looking for. It's primarily for reading, not cooking -- for the coffee table rather than the kitchen. The short recipes section is uniformly worthless for the home cook.

That said, I urge readers to be viewers and to watch the engrossing DVD, "A Matter of Taste," which also chronicles Liebrandt's career.
