An exquisitely produced set of books capturing the transformation of Eleven Madison Park “one
of the most lavishly praised” restaurants in America ( New York Times ) into the first
plant-based kitchen ever to earn three Michelin stars. For 25 years Eleven Madison Park
has opened the eyes of diners to the exquisite possibilities inside ingredients. But when
visionary chef Daniel Humm announced in 2021 that he would pursue a new plant-based mission
it made international headlines. Today Eleven Madison Park is the first and only plant-based
restaurant in the world to have been awarded three Michelin stars. Now in this beautiful
limited-edition set of books Chef Humm invites you behind the scenes of the restaurant' s
extraordinary transformation to plant-based cooking. It is an inspiring revelatory look inside
the mind of one of the world’s most dynamic chefs showing how he and his team create their
magic. This slipcased set is bound in cloth hand-numbered and signed by Chef Humm. It
contains three components: Recipes : A book containing the fully detailed recipes for Eleven
Madison Park’s groundbreaking seasonal menus—including observations from the kitchen team
photography by Francesco Tonelli and paintings by Francesco Clemente. Drawings: A portfolio
containing a letter from Chef Humm and six illustrations drawn from his recipe-inspiration
workbooks printed on fine watercolor paper. Backstage : A work of photojournalism by
photographer Ye Fan who was granted unprecedented full access to Eleven Madison Park from the
pandemic through its reopening. This edition is limited to 11 000 copies. Its publication is a
landmark event in the history of fine dining and cookbook publishing. Never before has such an
influential kitchen been documented in this way.
