Award-winning chef David Waltuck calls Chanterelle "a fantasy of a restaurant, dreamed up by a little, food-loving kid that somehow, magically, came true." For almost 30 years Waltuck and this beloved downtown eatery have broken the boundaries of French cooking, winning over such New York City icons as Richard Avedon, Keith Haring, and Malcolm Forbes, among many others. Now, Waltuck invites readers into his bustling kitchen with a sumptuously illustrated cookbook resplendent with the recipes that have made Chanterelle a destination restaurant of international stature.
