Eleven Madison Park: The Plant-Based Chapter

A deluxe limited-edition set of books—with recipes—capturing the transformation of Eleven Madison Park, “one of the most lavishly praised” restaurants in the world, into the first plant-based kitchen to earn three Michelin stars (New York Times).
 
Under visionary chef Daniel Humm, Eleven Madison Park became the first and only plant-based restaurant in the world to win three Michelin stars. This unprecedented look inside the mind of one of the world’s greatest chefs reveals how he and his team create their magic.

For 25 years, Eleven Madison Park has opened the eyes of diners to the exquisite possibilities inside ingredients—and today, they continue to break new ground. Now, Chef Humm invites you behind the scenes of the restaurant’s extraordinary transformation.
 
This collectible slipcased set has been printed in Italy on fine art paper and bound in vibrant cloth. Each set is hand-numbered and signed by Chef Humm, and contains three volumes:

• Recipes: A cookbook containing the fully detailed recipes for Eleven Madison Park’s inspiring seasonal menus—including observations from the kitchen team, photography by Francesco Tonelli, and paintings by Francesco Clemente.
• Drawings: A portfolio containing an essay on creativity from Chef Humm and six frameable illustrations, printed on heavy watercolor paper, drawn from his recipe-inspiration workbooks.
• Backstage: A work of photojournalism taking readers into the kitchen by photographer Ye Fan, who was granted unprecedented access to Eleven Madison Park over several years.

This edition is limited to 11,000 copies, and its publication is a landmark event in the history of fine dining. Never before has such an influential kitchen been documented in this detail.

• "Gloriously documented… Museum-worthy… You don’t need to be vegan to love and yearn for Humm’s creations."
