El Bulli (all of them)

On Food & Cooking by Harold McGee

The Whole Beast by Fergus Henderson

When You Lunch with the Emperor by Ludwig Bemelmans

La Bonne Table by Ludwig Bemelmans

Heat by Bill Buford

Oh my, we're in trouble. Is his show on the Food Network? Cooking channel? Discovery? or?
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

I have (or had, I think it's still in Canada) The belly of Paris. It's a fabulous read. Will have to check out the new show, haven't had much time to watch tv.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Have read Heat - highly recommend it! And the Harold McGee book is a staple of any culinary student, probably second only to Food Lovers Companion. I think if I remember correctly my impression of it was that it presented the down and dirty "why food does what it does" side of cooking, all the chemical reactions that occur, a nice reference manual, as is FLC.

Have to see if I can request the others from the library.
