The cookbook, which is beautiful and remarkably difficult impossible for non-professionals to use, includes an ode to Corey Lee by chef David Chang. Check out Chang's love letter in the latest issue of Lucky Peach, in which he recalls Lee's kitchen nickname ("the terrorist") and calls him "one of the best chefs on earth." [Lucky Peach]
