"Top Chef", the number-one rated food show on cable television, presents the official companion cookbook revealing the dish on both the food and the chefs creating it. Featuring 100 fabulous recipes from the first three seasons of the show, including dishes from the "Elimination Rounds" and the "Quick-Fire Challenges", it dares fans to join the fun by recreating their favorite recipes at home. During in-depth discussions with contestants, judges, and crew, every question is answered, like who creates the challenges, who came up with the "Pack your knives and go" tagline, and what have these guys been doing since Top Chef?Extensively photographed, readers will get a satisfying look into the Top Chef pantry (as well as what to stock in their own pantry), see close-ups of competition sites, and relive a variety of classic show moments, not to mention viewing enticing shots of every recipe. Handsomely packaged in a chef-appropriate canvas jacket and available just in time to obsess over season 4, this is a must-have for anyone who ever picked up a knife.
A great summary of the first 3 seasons of Top Chef. Entertaining profiles and overviews of the judges and the chef-testants. Not necessarily a cookbook I would keep in my kitchen as most of the ingredients and techniques are beyond my resources.
