A Return to Cooking

A behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, A Return To Cooking unites cooking and art, as four-star chef Eric Ripert embarks on a four-part pilgrimage to Vermont, Puerto Rico, Napa Valley and Long Island to cook and eat at home with friends. Inspired by the bounty of each region, Ripert concocts spontaneous dishes that are literally and visually captured by acclaimed culinary writer Michael Ruhlman, a photography team and artist Valentino Cortazar in a book that is artistically stunning as well as delicious.
