This lavish volume collects 150 recipes from The French Laundry, Thomas Keller's four-star Napa Valley restaurant (considered by many to be the best restaurant in the U.S.). With 200 color photographs by Deborah Jones and a $50 price tag, it's the ultimate souvenir of a trip to Napa. The very brave returned tourist may actually attempt to cook from the book, which presents each recipe exactly as Keller himself prepares it in the restaurant's kitchen (right down to the fresh duck fat, imported truffles and 10-liter tureen). The rest will be satisfied to gaze and remember.  (CAL76, $50.00)
