At noma - four times named the world's best restaurant - every dish includes some form of fermentation, whether it's a bright hit of vinegar, a deeply savory miso, an electrifying drop of garum, or the sweet intensity of black garlic. Fermentation is one of the foundations behind noma's extraordinary flavour profiles. Now Rene Redzepi, chef and co-owner of noma, and David Zilber, the chef who runs the restaurant's acclaimed fermentation lab, share never-before-revealed techniques to creating noma's extensive pantry of ferments. And they do so with a book conceived specifically to share their knowledge and techniques with home cooks. With more than 750 full-colour photographs, most of them step-by-step how-tos, and with every recipe approachably written and meticulously tested, Foundations of Flavor: The Noma Guide to Fermentation takes readers far beyond the typical kimchi and sauerkraut to include koji, kombuchas, shoyus, misos, lacto-ferments, vinegars, garums, and black fruits and vegetables. And - perhaps even more important - it shows how to use these game-changing pantry ingredients in 100 original recipes. Fermentation is already building as the most significant new direction in food (and health). With Foundations of Flavor: The Noma Guide to Fermentation, it's about to be taken to a whole new level.

For 65 years, Madame Romaine de Lyon ran a popular restaurant in midtown New York that served only eggs. But not just any eggs Mme de Lyon, was a master omelette chef. The walls of her restaurant were covered with signed photos of famous customers, such as Joan Rivers, Mary Tyler Moore, Anne Bancroft, and Mel Brooks (who wrote the screenplay for "The Producers" at his regular table in the back of the restaurant).

Romaine's dedication to the perfect execution of the omelette and her expertise at her craft, spread her reputation well beyond New York City. Among the highest praise she received was from the ultimate cooking authority: the great Julia Child. During the omelette episode of "The French Chef," Julia holds up a copy of "The Art of Cooking Omelettes" and recommends it to anyone interested in cooking exquisite omelettes.

It includes recipes for over 500 omelettes instructions that make these culinary works of art-the meals that made her restaurant so beloved-accessible to everyone. But "The Art of Cooking Omelettes" is more than a simple recipe book. It includes the charm and engaging stories of a master chef who came to this country with nothing an built a renowned restaurant.
