La Boîte - The Art of Blending Book by Lior Lev Sercarz

"The Art of Blending is more than a cookbook: It's a story of the people who inspire every jar I create and the places where flavors are born. Each of my 41 blends represents a moment in my life, a combination of the scents and textures that make up the foundation of who I am today. With each page, my spice blends come to life through recipes and cooking tips provided by a selection of my esteemed colleagues and friends including chefs Daniel Boulud, Eric Ripert, Michelle Bernstein and Paul Kahan; Parisian baker Apollonia Poilâne and Top Chef's Gail Simmons. This book encourages you to experiment with spices in new and creative ways, and to experience the essence of faraway cultures even if you never leave your kitchen."
