Master chefs make perfect omelets

NEW YORK -- Master chefs Jacques Pepin, Andre Soltner and Alain Sailhac, deans of the French Culinary Institute, have put their minds to making the perfect omelet.

They have come up with 14 recipes and tips on omelet making, printed in a nicely designed little booklet, available free in what is described as a limited edition, to people who e-mail a request to omelettebook @kobrand.com.

The booklet is sponsored by wine producer Maison Louis Jadot, and most of the recipes feature wine as an ingredient, replacing the more traditional dash of water or milk.
