His name is Grant Achatz, and he is redefining the American restaurant once again for an entirely new generation. Alinea is in perpetual motion; having eaten here once, you can't wait to come back, to see what Achatz will come up with next. While the recipes can hardly become part of your everday cooking, this book is far too interesting to be left on the coffee table. I go a little further, describing Achatz with a word that he would probably never use to describe himself: avant-garde, as it defined art movements at the beginning of the last century--planned, self-concious, and structured attempts to provoke and shake the status quo.
Just as with those artists, the results are not necessarily as interesting as the intentions and concepts behind them.

Tapping into the discipline, passion, and focus of being a chef, Grant rarely missed a day of work.
He trained his chefs to mimic his palate and learned how to cook with his other senses. As Kokonas was able to attest: The food was never better. Five months later, Grant was declared cancer-free, and just a few months following, he received the James Beard Foundation Outstanding Chef in America Award.
Life, on the Line tells the story of a culinary trailblazer's love affair with cooking, but it is also a book about survival, about nurturing creativity, and about profound friendship. Already much- anticipated by followers of progressive cuisine, Grant and Nick's gripping narrative is filled with stories from the world's most renowned kitchens-The French Laundry, Charlie Trotter's, el Bulli- and sure to expand the audience that made Alinea the number-one selling restaurant cookbook in America last year.
