The French Cafe Cookbook by chef Simon Wright features over 80 exquisite, signature fine-dining recipes from Auckland's premier restaurant. Accompanied by photography from Charlie Smith, this hardcover edition provides step-by-step culinary inspiration alongside behind-the-scenes insights into world-class dining. Beautifully styled with a floral motif jacket, it serves as both a high-end cooking guide and an elegant coffee table accent book.

This is the exact book you will receive, slight shelf wear on dust jacket, otherwise excellent. This was an extra I received from a friend. It has not been used, opened once or twice.

Auckland’s famous The French Cafe is the most awarded and honoured restaurant in New Zealand, a place where successive chefs have stamped their creative mark and thrilled diners for over 25 years. Under owners Simon Wright and Creghan Molloy Wright it has developed a peerless reputation as a restaurant of exquisite standards, so popular that tables have to be booked weeks in advance.

In The French Cafe Cookbook, this remarkable husband and wife team share the secrets of their passion, with 80 outstanding recipes, stunning photography by Charlie Smith, and illuminating tales of the blood, sweat, tears and love that go into running a restaurant at the top of its game.
