Reflexions, Richard Oleny
Richard Olney was a genius with an extraordinarily fine palate and, perhaps more important, a man of such elegant taste, that he has inspired many cooks, myself included. I first heard about him from Jeremiah and Alice at Chez Panisse. There was one copy available in the Bay Area, at the libraray in San Francisco. I reserved it and had to wait months as it was being passed around. The day it arrived, my life changed. I decided to be a chef. This is not a wine book, but a book about Richard’s life, principally about foods he ate, chefs he knew and, most enviablle of all, the wines he drank. Copyright 1999, first edition, first printing, hardcover, 416 pages, very good (the dust jacket is slightly wrinkled; the book itself has a few tiny white spots, barely perceptible, but there.)
