Publishers Text

Taking inspiration from the surrealists, adding a twist of twenty-first century technology and a love of good food, photographer Jan Bartelsman turns his lenses on the United States' star chefs, traveling from coast to coast to photograph, interview and collect recipes from such culinary luminaries as Julia Child, Thomas Keller, Charlie trotter, and Daniel Boulud.


The chef's recipes and comments are as lively as their portraits. Ming Tsai spices lobster with garlic and pepper and serves it with lemongrass fried rice; Lydia Shire's gorgonzola dolce ravioli are paired with roasted summer peaches. This book is truly a delectable dish, the complexity and taste of which readers can savor for years to come.
