Description
Part history, part recipes, part love letter to Sketch and its patrons, this book is a feast for the senses for food lovers, design enthusiasts and everyone who has ever wanted an inside look into the delights of one of the world's most extraordinary restaurants.
Set in the very heart of London, Sketch is an impressive collection of luxury restaurants and bars created by Mourad Mazouz and French MasterChef Pierre Gagnaire. The converted 18th-century building in Mayfair is an opulent, zany maze with treasures to be discovered in every room, including the famous 'egg' pod toilets - an Instragrammer's dream. From a mad hatter's tea party in the Glade tea room, to the eccentric Parlour patisserie, the icing on top of this magical cake is Pierre Gagnaire's three-Michelin-starred Lecture Room and Library - one of only nine restaurants in the UK to hold such an accolade.
Whether you want a tearoom, luxe brasserie, restaurant, bar or nightclub, Sketch offers a one-of-a-kind experience - and its unparalleled dining and art concept is beautifully captured in this compendium of all things Sketch, complete with a stunning slipcase. With phenomenal cuisine at its heart, world-renowned chef Pierre Gagnaire showcases 85 of the best recipes from Sketch's kaleidoscopic menus. These are interlaced with the fascinating history of the building, the restaurant and the talented people involved in this truly unique and entirely exceptional dining experience.
