Publisher Description
From Next restaurant’s chef Grant Achatz, chef David Beran, and Nick Kokonas comes Paris: 1906. A complete, uncompromising guide to reproducing the 4-star opening menu of the most talked about restaurant in the country.
Next is a restaurant like no other. Every season the menu and service explore an entirely different cuisine. Buying a ticket is the only way to get in… and the entire season sold out in a few hours. The inaugural menu took diners back to Paris: 1906, Escoffier at the Ritz for a multi-course prix fixe dinner that was described by the New York Times as “Belle Epoque dishes largely unseen on American tables for generations.”
Chef Grant Achatz has been named Outstanding Chef in the United States by the James Beard Foundation and listed by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2011. Grant and Nick opened Alinea restaurant in 2005. Alinea has been recognized as the Best Restaurant in the United States by both Gourmet Magazine and The San Pellegrino 50 Best Restaurants in the World awards, and was awarded the highest rating of 3 stars by the Michelin Guide, among many other honors.
This is the first in our series -- exclusive to the iBookstore -- for each menu we produce at Next.
Photography was shot in real time by our culinary liaison and research chef Christian Seel. Every dish and every preparation was shot as it was being created and served.
Paris: 1906 includes the exact recipes for every dish served as documented by our chefs, over 200 photos, and short essays describing the key dishes and concepts.

Makes you cry with delight
I missed the first several menus at Next. This and the Thai ecookbooks are available, and makes you appreciate the work that went into the production of every meal. I am now a season ticket-holder, and am looking forward to the upcoming cookbooks, now long overdue. While it is difficult to reproduce the recipes, it is not impossible. Reading the cookbooks, though, just makes one a better cook.
Great for professionals
A beautifully illustrated book. I highly respect the work and vision of the Chefs. As a chef myself, I look forward to using some of these recipes. As for the home cook, above and beyond the adaptation in technique that would be needed to execute these dishes at home, I noticed several mistakes and type-o's in the instructions. The most glaring is in the first step of the Gougeres where is asks to bring water, salt and flour to a boil. It then asks to stir in flour in the next step. Butter should have been added first, along with the water and salt and once at a boil, the flour added. This is only one of many inconsistencies I noticed. Apparently there was little effort to edit before publication. I look forward to the next edition and a hopefully better prof-read text.
