A great chef who I worked with at The French Laundry passed down this chocolate chip recipe to me when we were chef de parties together. I normally don’t place great importance on keeping recipes secret, as knowledge is meant to be shared, but for some reason I have with this one. I think it's because that chef is so special to me. But now it's time to share this recipe.
