ERIC RIPERT describes A RETURN TO COOKING: The Chef, the Cook, and the Artist.
Eric Ripert took time off from his managerial duties at New York's Le Bernardin to do what he loves most--cook. He visited four different locales and cooked only with local ingredients, away from the restaurant kitchens where he has thrived. With him, a painter, two photographers, co-author Michael Ruhlman and another chef. A Return to Cooking touches on art, life, food, and how they all connect, producing a book that is part cookbook, part art exhibit and part manifesto. Ripert is chef and part owner of Le Bernardin, awarded four stars by The New York Times and rated best restaurant in New York by ZagatSurvey. Michael Ruhlman, Ripert’s co-author, is the author of the IACP award-winning best-seller The Soul of a Chef as well as The Making of a Chef. Their book is a must for the serious cook. 7 PM at Fourth Street
