2024 marked a year of extraordinary milestones for Chef Thomas Keller, his restaurants and his cookbooks. From The French Laundry’s 30th anniversary to the 20th anniversary of Per Se and the 25th anniversary of The French Laundry Cookbook, it was a year celebrating culinary excellence.
To honor these achievements, Finesse is releasing the Chef Thomas Keller Anniversary Collection Set—a limited edition offering of only 250 sets. This exceptional set includes two of Chef Keller's most acclaimed books: The French Laundry Cookbook and The French Laundry, Per Se.
Chef Keller has established a collection of restaurants that set a new paradigm within the hospitality profession. Now celebrating its thirtieth year, Keller took ownership of The French Laundry in Yountville, CA, and quickly garnered worldwide acclaim. His restaurants also include Bouchon Bistro, with locations in Yountville, Las Vegas and Coral Gables; Per Se in New York City; Ad Hoc + Addendum in Yountville; The Surf Club Restaurant in Surfside, FL; RO Restaurant & Lounge in Yountville, and Bouchon Bakeries in Yountville, Las Vegas and in the Middle East. He is the first and only American-born chef to hold multiple three-star ratings from the prestigious Michelin Guide, as well as the first American male chef to be designated a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. He has received countless accolades, including The Culinary Institute of America's "Chef of the Year" Award and the James Beard Foundation's “Outstanding Chef" and "Outstanding Restaurateur” Awards.
