Bouchon Bakery is a 2012 cookbook written by American chef Thomas Keller and Sebastien Rouxel. The cookbook's pastry recipes are based on those from Keller's restaurant Bouchon Bakery , where co-author Rouxel works as a pastry chef.[ 3] Bouchon Bakery contains close to 150 recipes, as well as cooking tips and techniques.[ 4] Keller tested many of the recipes with gluten-free flour .[ 4] Bouchon Bakery emphasizes "clean cooking ".[ 5] Recipes contained in Bouchon Bakery include shortcrust pastry , laminated dough , croissants , choux pastry , brioche and levain bread ,[ 6] as well as a recipe for baked dog food .[ 7]
The New York Times food critic William Grimes called Bouchon Bakery "a real cookbook" but noted that "going to Keller for a blueberry muffin recipe seems a little like hiring Frank Gehry to design your birdhouse".[ 3] Russ Parsons of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "so many "finesse points" are demonstrated and explained that one could conceivably start a bakery by cooking your way through" Bouchon Bakery .[ 6] LA Weekly called Bouchon Bakery "surprisingly approachable" and "one glorious pastry book".[ 7]
Bouchon Bakery won the 2013 IACP award for food photography and styling.[ 2]
