Press release: THE CHEF’S REPERTOIRE WINS CORDON D’OR INTERNATIONAL CULINARY AWARD.

Chef Gui Alinat’s first book, The Chef’s Répertoire, is a reference book designed for professional or home chefs, as well as culinarians, food writers, front-of-the-house professionals, and anyone interested in increasing their culinary knowledge.

Inspired by the French bestseller first published in 1914 “Le Répertoire de La Cuisine”, and with a foreword by celebrity chef Rick Tramonto, The Chef’s Répertoire is the book you need in your kitchen.

Between classic American dishes, regional specialties, global foods and the vast array of classic French cuisine, chefs are expected to know thousands of dishes. They need a place to look up classic dishes on the fly, refresh their memories, and quickly respond to the challenges of the professional kitchen. The Chef’s Répertoire addresses this challenge by providing quick, easy access to 1100 named dishes and provides origin, ingredients and techniques, written in practical chef language. The Chef’s Répertoire identifies, classifies, and synthesizes the bulk of the classic dishes that compose modern cuisine in America. This book is not a dictionary or a cookbook. It is more than definitions or a compilation of recipes. It is an inventory of classic dishes that compose modern cuisine in America arranged in such a way that it makes them easy to find, and reproduce.

From the publisher

A superb collection of classic dishes found on American menus with their pronunciations, origins, ingredients, and techniques. Inspired by Le Répertoire de La Cuisine, Chef Gui Alinat has set a new standard for detailing the modern classic dishes that chefs must have at their fingertips. Each dish is defined using chef’s vocabulary, with ingredients and techniques presented in sequence. The Chef’s Répertoire is an essential chef’s apron-pocket reference that is perfect for every culinary professional and food enthusiast.
