Thomas Keller is America’s most prized cook, restaurateur and a cook book writer. He is the only American chef to have been awarded simultaneous three star Michelin ratings for two different restaurants owned by him for Per Se and for The French Laundry. Keller started out young in the field of cooking and culinary skills – in fact, his love for cooking surfaced when he once worked as a chef at his mother’s restaurant in Florida.

Soon, he started taking up chef positions at various restaurants in Rhode Island, where he met his mentor and French Master Chef Roland Henin. Henin taught him all that he needed to learn about classical French cooking and he left for New York from there, trying his luck at French fine dining restaurants. He finally gained success and recognition with his first famous restaurant, The French Laundry – he earned many prestigious awards for it.

From there onwards, Keller started one successful venture after other, becoming the American superstar of French cooking. He is also a cook book writer and has written books on his experiences with his different restaurants, covering the nuances of French cooking with it.
