Review Excerpt:

The … book contains 150 recipes and full page color photos. It goes beyond recipes to tell the history of the restaurant and the historic building in which it resides.

“It's a lifelong experience,” Keller said in an interview. “A book should be inspiring, it should have a certain amount of legacy to it. This is it, this is the book I wanted to write.”
