Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges (Jean-Georges Vongerichten)

Product Info

Jean-Georges was born in and grew up in the Alsace region of France. From an early age he helped his mother and grandmother prepare lunch for the family’s 50 or so employees. He apprenticed with several well-known French chefs. Between 1980 and 1985, he opened 10 restaurants, primarily in Asia. Some sources credit his time at the Intercontinental Hotel in Bangkok with his interest in Asian ingredients. In 1985, he came to the USA and opened numerous restaurants. In 2005, New York magazine wrote that in the past two decades, no single chef has had more influence on the way New Yorkers dine out—or on the way other chefs cook and other restaurants look. Asian Flavors features 175+ recipes. They are arranged by type – meat, soup – and have comments from the author. This is beautiful book with photographs of food and travel. On offer is a 2007 first edition with dust jacket in excellent condition.
