Salon Service at Per Se

The signature dish, Truffle Custard with Chive Potato Chip/Photos by Donna Turner Ruhlman

I hadn't planned this post but when my wife, Donna, started emailing these iPhone shots of the dishes she was served at per se yesterday at lunch I just had to put them up. First of all, Thomas Keller and his ace staff two years ago began offering dishes a la carte in their salon area, outside the dining room. It's a fabulous way to taste what the per se chefs, led now by CDC Eli Kaimeh, are up to. (It's no wonder that Sam Sifton, in his final column as restaurant critic for The New York Times, called it the best restaurant in New York City.) Chef Kaimeh did not work lunch yesterday; in his stead was Chef David Breeden.  I once complimented Deborah ...

The Martha Stewart Show

Martha actually laughs! I was on The Martha Stewart Show, taped Monday in front of a crazily exuberant audience, on behalf of the new book, Twenty, and I saw it myself. Lord knows what we were laughing about. I haven't a clue. You go kind of senseless when you're not in front of Martha every day and there she is—felt exactly like jumping out of an airplane for the first time. But one of the things I've always admired about her show is there's none of that forced cheer and goofy laughter. So when she laughs it's real and affecting. I've done my share of TV but have never, ever been nervous. I was so nervous that morning. I brought three shirts and a valium. When ...

Michael has been traveling all around the United States promoting his new book Ruhlman's Twenty.  Yesterday he had a long day in New York City where he appeared on the Martha Stewart Show.  Michael sends his apologies, as he is nursing a wicked hangover.  He returns to Cleveland today and will be appearing at the Fabulous Food Show this weekend.  Please enjoy this favorite post of mine on how to Make Brioche.  This post reminds you to begin preparing for the holiday season, which is quickly approaching. Original Post Date: November 30, 2010 December is the month for making brioche at home. It's the great holiday bread.  Though calling it bread doesn't do it justice.  Good brioche is like a cross between bread and cake.  Hell, it's really ...

NYC Notes: Bouchon Bakery Cookbook Begins

I spent the first week of March in Manhattan digging into the work of writing The Bouchon Bakery Cookbook with Thomas Keller and executive chef Sebastien Rouxel, whom Keller calls "easily one of the 10 best pastry chefs in the country." This project is especially exciting to me because I've spent my whole culinary career on the savory side and in hot kitchens and my knowledge of pastry is rudimentary. It's very exciting to be able to explore a whole knew culinary world, and to do it with someone as knowledgeable as Sebastien and his team. Get ready for the opening of their stand alone bakery next month at Rockefeller Center—it's frigging gorgeous, design of course by Tihany. In addition to the interviews and discussions with I had about the ...
