1: A bit disappointing...
I love the idea of the book, but with a $40/$26.97 price tag, I expected more content. Using 2 pages of a coffee table sized (large) book to print less than 2 paragraphs of text seems like filler. Perhaps I'm not artsy enough to appreciate the way the text wafted across the pages, but for my $30, I want more from a book.
I did enjoy the content. It's nice to read about and see so many chefs that I admire in their various chosen environments. I would love to have a poster of the Bourdain photo. I'd hang it directly across the room from my Zappa on the toilet poster. Beauty!!

2: needs more seasoning
great recipes, nice to hear different voices, I expected the interviews to be a little more in-depth.
|
3: Delectable!
Portraits are fascinating. Interviews are intriguing. Recipes are delicious. You don't have to be a chef to enjoy this one.
|
4: Interesting, but...
The book is artistically lovely but the interviews too short and sometimes a bit trite. A few of the recipes are good; I feel this is a 'coffee table' book more than anything else.

5: GREAT BOOK AND GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER
I enjoyed reading this book and looking at the photos. The photos are great of many great chefs. I enjoyed reading that many of the great chefs wanted simple meals from their youth as their last meal, not some fancy gourmet dish. I enjoyed the recipes in the back of the book. I was especially happy that my 18 year old son saw the book on the table and started reading it. We had some very interesting discussions about what each of us would choose as our last supper. Any time a book leads to family discusses its a keeper. I would recommend this book.
