From its intriguing opening question—"How can we reasonably judge a meal?"—to its rewarding conclusion, this beautiful book picks up where Brillat-Savarin left off almost two centuries ago. Hervé This, a cofounder (with the late physicist Nicholas Kurti) of the new approach to studying the scientific basis of cooking known as molecular gastronomy, investigates the question of culinary beauty in a series of playful, lively, and erudite dialogues. Considering the place of cuisine in Western culture, This explores an astonishing variety of topics and elaborates a revolutionary method for judging the art of cooking. Many of the ideas he introduces in this culinary romance are illustrated by dishes created by Pierre Gagnaire, whose engaging commentaries provide rare insights into the creative inspiration of one of the world's foremost chefs. The result is an enthralling, sophisticated, freewheeling dinner party of a book that also makes a powerful case for openness and change in the way we think about food.

In 2015 Pierre Gagnaire, whose 11 restaurants worldwide boast two and three Michelin stars, was voted ‘Best Chef in the World’ by his peers and 2016 sees him mark 50 dazzlingly creative and successful years in the kitchen. To celebrate this outstanding career Grub Street is delighted to be publishing his new title La Cuisine des 5 Saisons in English. This beautiful book is about his recipes and his work as a chef and for the first time makes his dishes accessible for home cooks. Why is it called Five Seasons? Five seasons because for chef Gagnaire there are five not four seasons; Spring, he says must be divided into two seasons because you don't have the same produce in March and in June. Thus the recipes in this book follow the rhythm of the seasons and their bounty. In each chapter there are six menus with starter, main dish and dessert. The recipes come from Pierre Gagnaire's culinary repertory and these are the recipes which made him famous. Through the recipes one can see the strong worldwide influence in Pierre Gagnaire's cuisine, cooking with every kind of ingredient. His eponymous restaurant at 6 rue Balzac in Paris (in the 8th arrondissement) specializes in modern French cuisine, and has garnered three Michelin stars. He is an iconoclastic chef at the forefront of the fusion cuisine movement by introducing jarring juxtapositions of flavors, tastes, textures, and ingredients. On his website he gives his mission statement as ‘facing tomorrow but respectful of yesterday’. Gagnaire is also Head Chef of Sketch in London. In 2005 both restaurants were ranked in the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants by industry magazine Restaurant, with Pierre Gagnaire ranking third for three consecutive years (2006, 2007, and 2008). In December 2009, Gagnaire made his United States debut with Twist, a new flagship restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas, which has since received great critical praise and a Forbes Five-Star Award. He now also has restaurants in Hong Kong, Seoul, Dubai, Tokyo, Berlin, and Moscow.

Véritable artiste des fourneaux, Pierre Gagnaire met sa gastronomie à la portée de tous, en adaptant ses meilleures recettes pour le grand public, et cela de l'entrée au dessert. Le livre se compose de 30 menus, soit 90 recettes, et se découpe en 5 saisons ; pour Pierre Gagnaire, l'année se divise en 5 périodes et non 4, le début du printemps étant en soi une cinquième saison ! Pour chaque saison, il propose 6 menus respectant la fraîcheur des produits et l'équilibre entre les 3 plats qui les composent. Grâce à son talent de pédagogue, les recettes les plus impressionnantes deviennent faciles à réaliser ! Pot-au-feu de veau à l'anis étoilé, endive entière farcie d'abricots secs et de raisins blonds, terrine de sole aux poireaux, pithivier de viande, uf à la berrichonne, gros gnocchi de pois cassé aux cèpes ... le salé se décline avec maestro mais reste accessible à tous les amateurs, même les moins expérimentés ! Quant aux desserts, des gâteaux du terroir aux sucreries les plus sophistiquées, ils s'échappent de l'imagination de Pierre Gagnaire sous nos yeux pour prendre la forme de recettes que chacun peut concocter. Biscuit roulé à la vanille, jus de fraise émulsionné, salade de fruit au Campari, tuile au citron, gelée de pamplemousse rose... à chaque saison ses fruits de prédilection et ses desserts préférés.
