Envy Christophe Blain, getting to work closely with Passard for 3 years - observing the inner workings of the kitchen, visiting the country gardens, questioning the great man, and, of course, getting to eat phenomenal food.
The book is a series of vignettes, mostly revolving around a recipe or two, but sometimes there'll be a depiction of a discussion, or an incident. There's little narrative, little drama. But I found it a very satisfying and interesting book.
The thing that really carries it for me is that you get a good insight into Passard's character and philosophy. It may just be a tossed off aside at the end of a recipe, but I really felt like I got a sense of the man and his cooking.
Blain's art is lighter, and more spacious than it normally is (few panel borders, for example) and it works well for this book.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying this book purely for the recipes - unless this kinda stuff is really your thing (i.e., mostly very showy vegetable dishes) - for anyone with an interest in food, restaurants and comics it's a great read.… (mais)
