"Upeasti kuvitettu lahjakirja kertoo tarinan helsinkiläisestä, maan suurimman liikepankin gourmet-ravintolasta, jonka keittiötä monet vieraat ovat pitäneet kaupungin parhaana. Kirjaan on koottu 31 ateriakokonaisuutta keittiön mielenkiintoisimmista menuista ja herkullisimmista resepteistä. Teos on ennen muuta keittokirja, jonka reseptit on tarkoitettu kotioloissa toteutettaviksi.

The Best Kitchen in Town tells the story of a gourmet restaurant in Helsinki, a restaurant whose kitchen many diners have pronounced to be the best in the city. Among the regular guests have been prominent figures in political, cultural and commercial life, both Finnish and foreign, and including heads of state and prime ministers.

This book presents a compilation of the most interesting menus and best recipes from the kitchen of the said restaurant. It also offers an overview of the finest features and traditions of Finnish cuisine regenerated over the past few decades.

The Best Kitchen in Town contains altogether 31 menus comprising over a hundred recipes together with suggestions for accompanying drinks. The recipes are illustrated with Katja Hagelstam's brilliant colour photographs.

The book also includes four articles written by experts on the history of Finnish cuisine and recent gastronomic trends in Finland. However, beyond these historical and cultural dimensions, this is above all a practical cookbook whose recipes are intended to be used at home."
