!! Celebration day for food nerds: new Keller cookbook!
The first French Laundry cookbook (from ’99) was a revelation to me. Cooking through it taught me more than any other resource has. I was shocked how makeable it was in a home kitchen—very few unusual supplies needed.

FWIW I’d still recommend starting with the ’99 one—it’s much more makeable (and somewhat more more general) than this one! You’d probably still find much of it fussy, but there’s a difference between “fussy” and “this dish involves 22 non-reusable components.” :)
