The Family Meal: Home Cooking with Ferran Adrià is a brilliantly designed cookbook from Ferran Adrià, the head chef at El Bulli--a now-closed restaurant in Catalonia, Spain, that earned three Michelin stars. Every day for decades, Adrià put together a "family dinner" for the staff of 75 people. This lovely cookbook presents 30 of these meals, each with a starter, main dish and dessert. The write-up for each meal includes shopping lists, step-by-step cooking tips (with photographs) for each dish, and a detailed schedule to make sure every food is finished at the same time. Meals include grilled lettuce hearts, veal with red wine & mustard and chocolate mousse, or lime-marinated fish, osso bucco, piña colada. This 10th-anniversary edition of The Family Meal is perfect for fans of European-style cooking, or home chefs who want to experiment with their own family dinners. --Jessica Howard, bookseller at Bookmans, Flagstaff
