It's been just over a week since Marisa mentioned the end of Carol Blymire's French Laundry at Home, and now we've got the final recipe: "Cornets" -- Salmon Tartare with Sweet Red Onion Creme Fraiche. A simple, buttery cone filled with onion creme fraiche and some chopped salmon tartare? It sounds like a nice and delicious end to me, and as Carol describes it, the cornets are "Perfect. Absolutely perfect."
With this, she has done the whole cookbook. The end. But this is one of those times when language fails to adequately describe the power of reality. Think of it this way: Whether we're cooking a Thanksgiving dinner, making a difficult cake, throwing a dinner party, or cooking something beyond our comfort zone, it's ONE meal. The hours from prep to plating fly by, and then we sit down, exhausted and fulfilled. Now imagine that feeling 100 times over, with many intricate and difficult recipes spread out over a couple of years -- all set to a kickass playlist. Carol is the home kitchen's Wonder Woman.
On to Alinea at Home!
