Synopsis
110 sparklingly original recipes from the world-renowned self-taught chef and founder of the three-star Michelin restaurant The Inn at Little Washington Patrick O'Connell, a self-taught chef who read cookbooks to learn how to cook, began his culinary career with a catering business in an old farmhouse, cooking on a wood stove with an electric frying pan purchased for $1.49 at a garage sale. To O'Connell's surprise, the pan was able for boil, sauté, and deep fry for parties of up to 300 guests, which sharpened his awareness of how much could be done with very little. In 1978, his catering business evolved into a country restaurant and Inn, operating out of a defunct garage in a small Virginia town affectionately referred to as "Little" Washington. Now a multiple James Beard Award-winning and Michelin star restaurant, The Inn at Little Washington was America's first five-star Inn. In The Little Inn at Washington Cookbook, O'Connell assembles elegant, simple, and straightforward recipes that elevate everyday ingredients. With helpful, detailed instructions, O'Connell teaches you how to make over one hundred dishes, from Fresh Tuna Tartare on Tuna Carpaccio with Wasabi Mayonnaise and Miniature Caramelized Onion Tartlets to Rockfish Roasted with White Wine, Tomatoes, and Black Olives on Toasted Couscous and Steamed Lobster with Grapefruit Butter Sauce . He also includes delicious desserts, such as Rosemary Crème Brulé and Double-Pumpkin Roulade , and savory sides, like Creamy Garlic Polenta and My Grandmother's Baked Beans . With over three hundred stunning, mouthwatering photographs and thoughtful reflections from O'Connell, The Inn at Little Washington Cookbook is a fresh and glorious resource and a romantic culinary journey through the Virginia countryside., 110 sparklingly original recipes from the world-renowned self-taught chef and founder of the three-star Michelin restaurant The Inn at Little Washington Patrick O'Connell, a self-taught chef who read cookbooks to learn how to cook, began his culinary career with a catering business in an old farmhouse, cooking on a wood stove with an electric frying pan purchased for $1.49 at a garage sale.

With over three hundred stunning, mouthwatering photographs and thoughtful reflections from O'Connell, The Inn at Little Washington Cookbook is a fresh and glorious resource and a romantic culinary journey through the Virginia countryside., This cookbook is the distillation of a life's work by a self-taught American chef who learned to cook by reading cookbooks and went on to become one of the world's most renowned chefs. O'Connell began his career with a catering business in an old farmhouse, cooking on a wood stove with an electric frying pan purchased for $1.49 at a garage sale. (The pan was used for boiling, saut eing and deep frying for parties of up to 300 guests.) This experience sharpened his awareness of how much could be done with very little. The catering business evolved into a country restaurant and Inn which opened in 1978 in a defunct garage and which is now America's only 5 star Inn. Craig Claiborne raves, "the most magnificent inn I've ever seen, in this country or Europe, where I had the most fantastic meal of my life." This is not a typical "Chef's Cookbook" filled with esoteric, egomanical, and impossibly complicated recipes which only a wizard with a staff of eighty would ever attempt to produce. Rather, the recipes assembled here make up a practiced, finely honed repertoire of elegant, simple and straight-forward dishes. Everyday ingredients are elevated to new heights through surprising combinations and seductive presentations. ]A Consuming Passion ] propels the home cook into a new world of American Haute Cuisine and provides the formulas for reproducing it at home. Careful and detailed instructions, all written by the author, assure success. Tim Turner's luscious photographs capture the playful but elegant spirit of the food and introduce the reader to some of the charming local characters who provide products for the Inn's kitchen as well as taking the reader on a delightful and romantic culinary journey throughout the Virginia countryside surrounding the small town affectionately known as "Little" Washington and reveals an America we thought was lost forever.

  • A christmas gift in good shape

    I got the book for my son as a Christmas gift. He was really happy with it. He was shocked that it was signed. He also said it was in real good shape. He said that I paid to much for it because the shape it in. I was pleased and did not tell him what it cost.
