ReviewsFRENCH PRAISEFOR THE COMPLETE ROBUCHON "Ce n'est pas la technologie qui a inspiré le grand cuisinier Joël Robuchon, mais une fascination pour les techniques cluinaires, qu'il n'a eu, au long de sa carrière, de cesse de maîtriser. Le Tout Robuchon est une explication, une vulgarization au bon sens du terme, de la cuisine du maître, capable de fixer souverainement les saveurs et les arômes, dominant la technique, méfiante envers les exercises de style ou les effets de mode. … Les 660 recettes de Joël Robuchon montrent qu'il est un passeur remarquable, initiateur plus qu'innovateur, l'émotion culinaire resultant de léconomie des moyens mis en oeuvre." "The great cook Joël Robuchon is inspired not by technology but by his fascination with culinary techniques, which he has continued to acquire and refine throughout his career.Tout Robuchonis an explanation and a popularization (in the best sense) of a master's cooking, full of intense flavors and aromas, beyond technique, leery of stylish exercises and fashionable effects. . . . These recipes show Robuchon to be a remarkable teacher." - Jean-Claude Ribaut,Le Monde "Clair et complet, il restitue six-cents recettes, qui se fondent sur quarante ans d'expérience.
