Synopsis

"François Perret is a magician of taste. [His] madeleine . . . is a masterpiece." - Pierre HerméWhat happens when François Perret - the world-renowned pastry chef at the Ritz Paris - leaves behind his state-of-the-art kitchen to compete in a Los Angeles food truck competition ? Trading in his chef's toque for a baseball cap, chef Perret roamed central California in his food truck, sampling fresh produce and culinary specialties with local growers and chefs. His encounters inspired him to reinterpret American classic recipes including s'mores, tacos, donuts, and cookies. His experience, seemingly an inversion of the Ratatouille story, culminates into the perfect fusion of French pastry technique and the sunny flavors of California.Chef François Perret first shared his adventures in the Netflix series The Chef in a Truck, and this volume - part travel journal, part recipe book - recounts his unique culinary journey. It shows readers once again that food is truly a shared international language that builds bridges across cultures.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

When pastry chef François Perret left the world-famous Ritz in Paris to compete in a food truck festival in Los Angeles, he was pursuing the same mission: to surprise, to create, and to make dreams come true. If food is about connection, passion, and breaking down boundaries, what better challenge than to pack up and leaving the well-equipped, Michelin-rated French kitchen for the cramped, mobile, but unbeatably accessible food truck half a world away? Part travel documentary, part companion guide, part fusion recipe book, this volume accompanies the Netflix series The Chef in a Truck. Bringing together both culinary worlds, it includes recipes from the high-end pastry environment using the most exclusive ingredients, as well as recipes inspired by encounters with local chefs and producers in California. Follow Perret’s unique journey, recreate his recipes in your own kitchen, and explore the places he visits in Paris and Los Angeles through his personal address book. An adventure is guaranteed?one which affirms the true emotional and creative beauty of food and the values we can learn from stepping out of our comfort zones and into an unfamiliar and exciting world.
