The Menu

Co-authored by celebrated chef David Laris and master baker and pâtissier Dean Brettschneider, The Menu is an inspiring collection of 15 five-course menus suitable for use in the modern home kitchen.

Each menu provides guidance and direction for putting together a sit-down function for family, friends, or work associates. If preferred, the recipes can each be prepared separately, in the manner of a traditional cookbook, or mixed and match according to taste.

Additional notes from David Laris on tableware, flowers, lighting, and music make this gorgeously designed book an invaluable resource for the aspiring home cook and host, and a great gift idea.
