"A magnificent presentation by two of America's finest craftsmen, the recipes in this book provide everything that discriminating cooks and their guests could desire in a meal: creativity, wholesomeness, elegance, lightness, and seasonality. Each course demonstrates a superb mastery, from appetizers to desserts and pastriesonce the sole province of the French." Raymond Blanc, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons "Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand's enthusiasm for what they do shines through in this cookbook. The creative dishes, the very personal text and the helpful wine pairings all contribute to the reader's sense that this is a book by people who love what they do. Rick defines his cuisine as progressive French but one must add the word delicious for a complete definition of the recipes in this book. Enjoy!"Daniel Boulud, Daniel "Rick Tramonto's and Gale Gand's TRU cookbook perfectly conveys the restaurant's innovative, inspiring and elegant dishes to the reader.
