I :heart: Wholefoods. A new one near me just opened up. It's about the size of a Costco warehouse! Super fancy. I'm really into cooking and love to browse & spend hours in upscale supermarkets.

I also La Prarie. Their Caviar cream just smells heavenly and I actually feel "loved" and "pampered" when I rub it on my face!

Julide, you need to take a look at "The Advanced Professional Pastry Chef". Great pictorials on technique. I have both of Thomas Keller's cookbooks and enjoy them. You should look at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's books as well. Some of his recipes are divine in their simplicity, but the results were amazing! And you must have a lot of patience to own copper pots!!!!

Jean-Georges? I can't check the title right now. The book is at another house. But what I love about his recipes is that they taste just as good when made at home. Some recipes by celeb chefs just don't carry over when done outside of a professional kitchen, KWIM? The average person just doesn't have access to the quality products the chefs do. Once I tried to copy an Alain Ducasse recipe......oh forget it!!!!!

I just check the advanced pastry checf Vol. 2 is by Friberg? The Books by Jean-georges is Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges, Sweet Spot : Asian-Inspired Desserts, Jean-Georges : Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef, Simple to Spectacular : How to Take One Basic Recipe to Four Levels of Sophistication, and Simple Cuisine : Easy Recipes for Four-Star Food. (KWIM??):confused1: I'm sorry don't understand I just got my computer a couple of months ago so not familiar with all terms yet:shame:
