Scotland & Wales
 From Nature to Plate
Tom Kitchin
A veteran of the kitchens of Pierre Koffman, Guy Savoy, and Alain Ducasse, a Scot, Tom Kitchin returned to Scotland to open The Kitchin in Edinburgh where he won a Michelin star in 2006 less than a year after opening. Seasonality is his mantra so although many of his techniques are quite simple the ingredients from produce to game must be the absolute best. Colour photos. Hardcover, 271 pp. $65.00.
