Under Pressure

Informationen zum Autor Thomas Keller is the author of The French Laundry Cookbook, Bouchon, Under Pressure, Ad Hoc at Home, and Bouchon Bakery. He is the first and only American chef to have two Michelin Guide three-star-rated restaurants, The French Laundry and per se, both of which continue to rank among the best restaurants in America and the world. In 2011 he was designated a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, the first American male chef to be so honored. In 2017, as part of the Ment'or Foundation-established with chefs Jérôme Bocuse and Daniel Boulud-Keller led Team USA to win gold at the Bocuse d'Or competition in Lyon, France, for the first time ever.

Fish, which has a small window of doneness, is easier to finesse, and shellfish stays succulent no matter how long it's been on the stove.
