Laurel is Top Chef winner Nicholas Elmi’s jewel-box restaurant in Philadelphia’s East Passyunk neighborhood.
The man behind one of Philadelphia's most celebrated restaurants, Laurel, is translating the dining experience to book form.
This September, "Top Chef" champion Nicholas Elmi will publish "Laurel: A Small Restaurant in Philadelphia," a cookbook written with journalist Adam Erace.
The book, Elmi's first, will detail the chef's roots training in France and translating his recipes for a modern American restaurant, also offering recipes reflecting Laurel's hyper-local seasonality. Laurel announced the release and pre-order on Instagram.
