WD50 Cookbook Review

WD50 Cookbook: The Story Of A Pioneering Restaurant

Two weeks ago we give a 5 out of 5 at the Wildness Cookbook, it was the first time we have such a high score in a book review. For us, it was a total surprise, especially because it’s a restaurant cookbook. Initially, we thought it would take some time until we give another 5 out of 5 to a cookbook. But Last week, when we received the WD50 Cookbook to review we instantly knew that this would be one of the best books ever.

WD50 Cookbook is the first book from the groundbreaking chef Wylie Dufresne – The story of WD~50, his pioneering restaurant on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and the dishes that made it famous. When it opened in 2003, WD~50 was New York’s most innovative, cutting-edge restaurant. Mastermind Wylie Dufresne ushered in a new generation of experimental and free-spirited chefs with his wildly unique approach to cooking, influenced by science, art, and the humblest of classic foods like bagels and lox, and American cheese.
