Bøker av Daniel Humm

A lavish collection of elegant, seasonal recipes from the award-winning four-star New York restaurant.

Eat More Plants. A Chef's Journal is a collection of Daniel Humm's drawings and handwritten thoughts charting the re-imagination of his acclaimed three-Michelin-Star restaurant Eleven Madison Park as wholly plant-based in 2021. Shaped by the seasonality underlying Humm's cooking, the book is structured into a section each for spring, summer, fall and winter. His drawings are spontaneous and painterly, celebrating the bounty of predominantly local fruits and vegetables that inspires his creations-from familiar characters such as the carrot and cherry to the more exotic elderflower and matsutake mushroom. On the back of the drawings Humm has written notes on the ideas, beliefs and uncertainties behind his decision to re-invent (and risk) the 25-year story of Eleven Madison Park: "Our cooking should not conform to society, it should be a resolution / Most days we see endless possibility, some days fear clouds our vision / This isn't just an artistic experiment, it's our livelihood." The result is a revealing visual diary of a chef dedicated to pro-planet values as the basis of fine dining, and the liberating realization that following traditions had been his greatest limitation.

A suite of books documenting the transformation of Eleven Madison Park, "one of the most lavishly praised" restaurants in America (New York Times) and one of the top restaurants in the world, as it becomes the first pant-based dining room to be awarded three Michelin stars Eleven Madison Park has long bore the standard for the best restaurant in the world, and since they shocked the culinary world and beyond with their 2021 announcement that they would be going completely vegan, they've held onto that status and become the only plant-based restaurant in the world to receive three stars from the Michelin guide. For the first time ever, that menu will be served up to the public, along with Chef Humm's personal story and a collection of tk I'm actually still not sure lol in a stunningly produced deluxe edition package. For 25 years now, Eleven Madison Park has been opening the eyes of diners and chefs to the exquisite possibilities inside ingredients. This set of books will trace the creative journey that accompanied the famed chef's transition to plant-based cooking; it's an astonishing, revelatory look inside the mind and restaurant of one of the world's most interesting chefs; all for a lower price than a single meal at the world-renowned restaurant.
