This sheet is one page of a 172-page guide.

Cuisine Étoilée — a working guide to the standards, technique and mindset of the world’s best kitchens. Seven chapters, written plainly, because the problem was never that these things are difficult. It is that nobody would explain them.

  • Mindset — what to do with your first six months in a serious kitchen
  • Organization — and what it actually buys you
  • The cold side, the hot side, sauce, meat cooking, advanced plating

Plus three specialities commissioned from chefs at Alchemist, Eleven Madison Park and Mirazur.
