If you are looking for a collection of gastronomy recipes you can try at home, Le Livre Blanc by Anne-Sophie Pic is a great option. The [creative cookbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasting-history-cookbook) is written by a woman with three [Michelin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-culinary-marketplace) stars in a male-dominated area. The French chef specializes in seafood and crafts unexpected experiments, which are included in this recipe book.

From oysters and licorice to beetroot and coffee to green tea butter, the gastronomy recipes are depicted in a minimalist style with a simple black and white cover page and striking food photography, which only stands out more against a white background. This theme is inspired by the chef's apron and the concept of a blank slate from which she begins.
