Fans of Daniel Rose, the supremely likable American chef/owner of the Paris restaurant Spring, will be happy to hear that he has published his first cookbook, available in French and English editions, illustrated with his own charmingly naïve and witty drawings The recipes range from easy − slow-cooked lamb shoulder with almond purée − to rather more difficult, e.g., “complicated poule au pot (with a simple result).” They are always original, however; witness his stewed turnips with lobster and foie gras. Unfortunately, Rose won’t be in your kitchen to add a brilliant little extra touch of this or that at the last minute (I remember him coming over to our table once to grate lime zest on the perfect French fries that came with a divine lobster roll), so you will have to rely on your own inspiration.
