Bar Tartine

Bar Tartine: Techniques and Recipes documents the culinary approach developed at the acclaimed San Francisco restaurant of the same name, drawing on the establishment's methods and dishes from 2011 through 2014. Authored by Cortney Burns, the book is technique-driven in orientation, emphasizing fermentation, preservation, and the use of house-made pantry staples that reflect an eclectic, ingredient-focused sensibility rooted in global culinary traditions. It is aimed at serious home cooks and culinary professionals with an interest in artisanal and craft-based cooking methods rather than straightforward weeknight preparation. The volume serves as both a recipe collection and a reference work, offering insight into the creative philosophy behind one of San Francisco's more distinctive dining establishments of that period.
