The first restaurant to win three Michelin stars while serving a fully vegan menu, New York’s Eleven Madison Park is handsomely represented in this limited-edition set of three books in a slipcase. All copies are signed by Chef Daniel Humm, and hand numbered.
The most extensive volume (227 pages) is Recipes. Seasonally organized, the recipes for 88 plated dishes are each accompanied by a photograph. Complex assemblies of multiple components–white asparagus grilled with green almonds and ginger involves at least six subrecipes–these dishes feel wholly original and would be arresting on any fine dining menu.
They are supplemented by more than 300 recipes for additional components for everything from a sunflower petal kimchi to an arugula tapenade.
Backstage (148 pages) consists of photographs by Ye Fan of the restaurant’s transformation from 2021 to 2023. Her candid photographs reveal the restaurants staff at work and in occasional relaxation, providing images of focus, camaraderie, and introspection.
Drawings is a portfolio of Daniel Humm’s watercolor sketches, which he uses as a means of creative exploration. There are six sheets, each printed on both sides and suitable for framing.
There will be no reprint of this edition of this book.
