Perseus Publishing Chef Marc Lepine's debut cookbook, Atelier, is a celebration of a restaurant that has reinvigorated the fine-dining culture in Canada. It begins with âOrigins,â which traces Lepineâs expansive careerâfrom his relationship with food at an early age to his formal training in Europe and, eventually, the U.S. at Michelin-starred Alinea to the opening of Atelier. âVisionâ explores a unique creative approach that is fueled by a restless imagination and personal expression, while âInnovationsâ features a spirited collection of 48 artful dishes that critics and fans have come to loveâCarrot Hoop, Octopus Terrarium, Dino Egg, and many more. Here, weâll see thought-provoking recipes inspired by local ingredients, seasonality, and pioneering techniques. This impressive and beautiful volume is an exciting tribute to a unique culinary philosophy. Featuring beautiful photography by award-winning photographer Christian Lalonde, Atelier is an essential book for chefs, culinary professionals, and foodies with an interest in modern cuisine, food culture, and an unconventional approach to dining.
