Imagine my excitement. Imagine my disappointment.
I was recently given the opportunity to receive a copy of the new cookbook "The French Laundry, Per Se," by Thomas Keller. Keller is the only American chef to have two restaurants given a top score of three stars by the Michelin Guide, and those restaurants — The French Laundry and Per Se — are always named among the top dining establishments in the country.
Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to get the book. I have heard nothing but the highest of praise for the restaurants, though I have never eaten at either one.
