Michael Radon of The US Review of Books reviewed and commended “Fine Dining at Home by Chef Bernard” by Bernard A. Mayer. Here is an excerpt from the US Review of Books that highlights:
“The focus of this cookbook is on fine dining, but that doesn’t mean that every dish is going to be rich and full of exotic, hard-to-find ingredients. There are plenty of options to choose from ranging from beginner-friendly fare to dishes that require a bit more technical skill, understanding, and preparation in advance. Instructions are direct and to the point, with the occasional photograph offering readers a little visual inspiration when selecting the right recipe for the occasion. In the beginning, each chapter focuses on regional cuisines from across the globe, but as the book goes on, the type of food becomes the focus, making it easy to find recipes for soups, sauces, cakes, or omelets. With a wide variety of available meals to try, this cookbook offers its owners a chance to try something new and exciting for months and months.”
