Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have all three Top Chef cookbooks, and this is my current favorite.I love that it is full of actual recipes from six seasons of Top Chef (plus a season of Top Chef Masters), and while there are a few cheesy fan pages in here (interviews with randomly selected cheftestants, a look at the tattoos of season 6, some random candid shots of players and judges), they are generally well-assembled and not too much of a distraction.There are some inaccuracies in the book (I'm thinking of the bio for Rick Moonen, which has a large picture of Graham Elliot Bowles), but the info about the show is mostly correct (when a particular recipe has "Winner" in the top corner, you can be pretty comfortable in trusting that it actually won its competition, which is not always the case in these books).What sets this book above its predecessors, though, is its devotion to technique.There are text boxes in the margins of nearly every page to explain terms like blanching and agar-agar, so even the least experienced home cook should feel confident enough to try these adventurous and beautiful recipes.I haven't owned the book long enough to make anything myself yet, but I know I can find something delicious for my next dinner party.I highly recommend this for home cooks, even those who aren't fans of the show (yet).
