Coco is an exciting, unprecedented guide to the most exceptional talent in the international restaurant world. Following in the footsteps of Phaidon's successful 10x10 series featuring emerging young artists in different fields, such as contemporary art (cream, Fresh Cream, Cream 3, and Ice Cream), architecture (10x10 and 10x10_2), photography (BLINK), and graphic design (Area, and Area 2), Coco presents 100 of the best emerging chefs from around the world. Selected by 10 superstar chefs: Ferran Adrià (Spain), Mario Batali (US), Rene Redzepi (Denmark), Alice Waters (US), Jacky Yu (Hong Kong), Gordon Ramsay (UK), Ferguson Henderson (UK), Shannon Bennett (Australia), Alain Ducasse (France) and Yoshihiro Murata (Japan). The selected 100 chefs are creating the most innovative cuisine today. From Singapore to New York, Stockholm to Surrey, Hong Kong to Paris, these chefs are pushing their craft to new heights and have just begun to receive attention for their cooking.
Arranged alphabetically by chef, the book will present each chef over two spreads. The first spread includes the curator's presentation of the chef in the form of an original essay, a sample menu by the chef, and two to three of the chef's signature recipes. The second spread includes photographs of each recipe as prepared by the chef, as well as photographs of the restaurant, the chef at work, and the chef's environment, including farmers' markets and favorite ingredients. In the back of the book, each chef-curator discusses one specific dish that has had a particular significance throughout his/her life or career, accompanied by a recipe and photograph of the dish.
Part cookbook, part guide to the world's best new restaurants, and part who's who of the international food scene, Coco showcases the cooking of today’s best new chefs, as chosen by today’s culinary icons.
Curated by Ferran Adrià, Mario Batali, Shannon Bennet, Alain Ducasse, Fergus Henderson, Yoshihiro Murata, Gordon Ramsay, René Redzepi, Alice Waters, and Jacky Yu

这本书的叙事结构简直像一个精巧的迷宫,作者对时间线的处理大胆而令人耳目一新。故事并非线性展开,而是像碎片化的记忆片段,在不同的时空中跳跃、交织。读者需要投入极大的注意力去梳理这些散落的线索,这种阅读体验与其说是被动接受,不如说是一种主动的“考古”过程。我发现自己时常需要停下来,在脑海中重构人物关系和事件的前后逻辑。尤其是在描述主角的内心挣扎时,作者运用了大量的内心独白和意识流手法,那些句子长短不一,充满了破碎的节奏感,非常真实地模拟了人在极端情绪下的思维混乱状态。书中对环境的描摹也极具画面感,那种潮湿、压抑的南方小镇气息,仿佛能穿透纸面扑面而来,让人联想到某个久远的、带着霉味的梦境。唯一的遗憾是,这种复杂的结构在某些关键情节的处理上略显晦涩,初读时可能会感到些许的迷失,需要二刷才能真正领会其深处的匠心。不过,对于喜爱挑战智力、享受抽丝剥茧乐趣的读者来说,这本书无疑提供了一场酣畅淋漓的智力冒险。
评分我不得不说,这本书的语言风格简直是文学界的“一枝独秀”。作者似乎对词汇的运用有着近乎偏执的追求,句子大多短促有力,充满了一种古典的韵律美,但同时又混杂着非常现代、甚至带点戏谑的口语表达,形成了一种奇妙的张力。我尤其欣赏作者如何运用比喻和象征,那些描绘日常物件的语句,往往一语双关,指向了更深层次的哲学思考。比如,书中对“一盏老旧的煤油灯”的描述,不仅仅是光线的来源,更像是主角对逝去岁月的固执抓取,每一个细节都被赋予了沉重的象征意义。阅读过程中,我常常被某些段落的措辞美感所震撼,忍不住要用铅笔轻轻划下,留待日后回味。这种对文字的精雕细琢,使得阅读过程慢了下来,成了一种沉浸式的品鉴。当然,对于习惯了快节奏叙事的读者,这种密集的意象轰炸可能会稍显吃力,但如果你是那种喜欢在字里行间品尝文字味道的“老饕”,这本书绝对不会让你失望,它是一场纯粹的语言盛宴。
评分这本书最打动我的是其对“疏离感”的刻画,那种深入骨髓的、无处不在的孤独感。它没有采用歇斯底里的方式来表达痛苦,而是通过一系列极其克制、近乎冷漠的对话和行为,将人物的内心世界缓缓剥开。主角们似乎永远在同一空间,却又隔着一道看不见的鸿沟,他们的交流充满了“无效信息”和“未尽之言”,每一个看似平常的互动背后,都隐藏着巨大的情感张力。我特别喜欢作者处理群像戏的方式,即便是配角,也拥有自己完整且悲剧性的弧光,他们像是围绕着主角旋转的、各自有轨道的行星,彼此吸引又彼此排斥。这种对人际关系中微妙距离感的精准捕捉,让我深有共鸣,仿佛作者偷窥了每一个普通人试图隐藏的、最私密的角落。读完合上书本的那一刻,我感到一种久久不能散去的清冷感,那不是绝望,而是一种对人类本质困境的了然与接受,非常深刻,很有力量。
评分从叙事节奏来看,这本书采取了一种非常独特的“渐热”模式。开头部分,作者极其耐心地铺陈背景,大量着墨于场景和气氛的营造,信息量很少,节奏缓慢到近乎停滞,这对于追求即时满足的读者来说可能是一个挑战。然而,一旦你坚持度过了前三分之一的“沉淀期”,你会发现作者所有的铺垫都是为了后半部分那场情感和情节的全面爆发做准备。当所有看似无关的支线开始汇聚时,那种豁然开朗的震撼感是无与伦比的。特别是书的后三分之一,叙事速度骤然加快,信息密度陡增,角色间的冲突如同积压已久的火山岩浆喷薄而出,让人几乎喘不过气来。我是在一个周末的下午一口气读完的,读到最后时,窗外的光线已经完全暗了下来,我才意识到自己已经完全沉浸其中,忘记了时间。这种先抑后扬、张弛有度的叙事掌控力,展现了作者对故事骨架了如指掌的信心。
评分我对这本书的哲学内核产生了浓厚的兴趣。它探讨的主题非常宏大——关于选择的代价与不可逆性。作者通过一系列近乎寓言式的场景,探讨了“如果当时做了另一个选择,现在会怎样”的母题,但它并没有提供简单的答案,而是展示了任何选择都必然伴随着某种形式的失落。书中反复出现对“岔路口”和“镜中倒影”的意象描绘,强有力地暗示了多重现实的可能性与个体在其中挣扎的徒劳感。这种探讨并非枯燥的说教,而是巧妙地融入了角色的命运之中,让读者在为角色的遭遇唏嘘的同时,也开始反思自己的生命轨迹。它不像一本小说,更像是一部关于存在的沉思录,文字的背后充满了对生命本质的敬畏与困惑。这是一本需要反复咀嚼、边读边思索的书籍,它提供给读者的,远超故事本身,更是一场关于“我是谁”的深度对话。
