Great Bagel and Lox Book: Compiled from New York's Finest Chefs and Restaurants

“Take the New York icon bagels and lox and create something new.” This was the challenge by renowned photographer Alan “Battman” Batt to over 80 leading New York City chefs. The result is The Great Bagel & Lox Book. A Bagel Spoon Dipped in Smoked Salmon Custard; White Salmon Carpaccio; Smoked Salmon Foie Gras; Cannoli Stuffed with Smoked Salmon & Tofu Cream Cheese. These are just a few of the daring takes on this venerable dish created by New York’s celebrated chefs. The eye-watering photographs by Battman bring these variations to life on each delicious page. This is not your father’s bagel and lox.
