Bouchon Bakery is a 2012 cookbook written by American chef Thomas Keller and Sebastien Rouxel. The cookbook's pastry recipes are based on those from Keller's restaurant Bouchon Bakery, where co-author Rouxel works as a pastry chef.[3] Bouchon Bakery contains close to 150 recipes, as well as cooking tips and techniques.[4] Keller tested many of the recipes with gluten-free flour.[4] Bouchon Bakery emphasizes "clean cooking".[5] Recipes contained in Bouchon Bakery include shortcrust pastry, laminated dough, croissants, choux pastry, brioche and levain bread,[6] as well as a recipe for baked dog food.[7]
The New York Times food critic William Grimes called Bouchon Bakery "a real cookbook" but noted that "going to Keller for a blueberry muffin recipe seems a little like hiring Frank Gehry to design your birdhouse".[3] Russ Parsons of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "so many "finesse points" are demonstrated and explained that one could conceivably start a bakery by cooking your way through" Bouchon Bakery.[6] LA Weekly called Bouchon Bakery "surprisingly approachable" and "one glorious pastry book".[7]
Bouchon Bakery won the 2013 IACP award for food photography and styling.[2]
