NEW YORK – bulthaup is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the first public signing of Chef Ludo Lefebvre’s new book “LudoBites: Recipes and Stories from the Pop-Up Restaurants of Ludo Lefebvre” (published by Ecco) on October 11th at the bulthaup New York showroom -located at the corner of Wooster and Houston. The signing, which takes place from 6-8 p.m., follows the book’s scheduled release on October 9th.
Lefebvre is a culinary prodigy who worked at his first three-star Michelin restaurant at age 14. By age 25 he was running his own kitchen in Los Angeles and winning accolades for serving some of the most imaginative, forward-thinking food the city had seen. In 2007, he traded fine dining for the freedom to cook outside the box, even though it meant sacrificing his skilled kitchen brigade and drafting an eight-year-old
to clean green beans and separate eggs.
The result was LudoBites, a “touring” restaurant that, like a rock ‘n’ roll band, roved the streets of Los Angeles, playing to different sold-out crowds every four months. The concept brings together old-money customers with a new generation of ambitious eaters who cram in elbow to elbow and cheek to cheek for the chance to sample Lefebvre’s inspired, wildly imaginative food.
“LudoBites: Recipes and Stories from the Pop-Up Restaurants of Ludo Lefebvre” is the chronicle of his journey. Each chapter showcases the story and inventive food of the seven different LudoBites incarnations. It features recipes that merge the techniques Lefebvre perfected in his years at the finest French restaurants with the simplicity forced upon him by the limits of a pop-up kitchen.
Essays prefacing each chapter give an unprecedented glimpse into the mind of “the chef of the future” (Time), a culinary genius who breaks all the rules. Beautiful, full-color photographs offer behind-the-scenes glimpses of the pain, drama, and triumph inherent in his creative process. As innovative and inviting as the unique chef it captures, LudoBites is a fascinating look at food and a revolutionary new way of cooking.
