Bistro food is the food of happiness. The dishes have universal allure, whether it’s steak frites or a perfectly roasted chicken, onion soup or beef bourguignon. These are recipes that have endured for centuries, and they find their most perfect representation in the hands of the supremely talented Thomas Keller.

And just as Bouchon demonstrated Chef Keller’s ability to distill the sublime simplicity of bistro cooking and elevate it beyond what it had ever been before, the #1 New York Times best-seller Bouchon Bakery is filled with baked goods that are a marvel of ingenuity and simplicity. From morning baguettes and almond croissants to fruit tarts and buttery brioche, these most elemental and satisfying of foods are treated with an unmatched degree of precision and creativity.

With this exciting new collection, signed by Chef Keller, readers are sure to expand their knowledge, enrich their experience, and refine their technique.
