Der Brügger Die Indochine Küche des 21 Jahrhunderts
Wini Brugger won one of our first Best Chef Book awards, in 1997, for his Asian Fusion cookbook, published first by Pacific Century of Hong Kong, and by John Wiley. He came to receive his award at the Astor Restaurant, in Paris, which was then advised by Joel Robuchon. Wini Brugger is now back in Vienna, after many years in Southeast Asia. His new book is stunning, showing his personal achievement and progress in these last 10 years. He is one of the chefs that have decided to produce their own book, and it is a masterpiece: the text, the recipes, the design and the superb photography all are excellent.
