Thirty-five of the world's most acclaimed chefs invite you into their home kitchens with this lushly illustrated volume that includes personal recipes. Leading chefs such as Hugh Acheson, Alice Waters, Dan Barber, and others have become famous for the sumptuous creations they offer at their legendary restaurants. But what happens when the chef whites come off and they head home? With exclusive photographs and interviews, authors Carrie Solomon and Adrian Moore provide an inside look at how these icons of cuisine cook for themselves. Each chef's entry contains an anecdotal essay that sheds light on his or her personal and professional background; annotated photographic spreads showing the contents of their refrigerators and freezers; a short Q&A section; an informal portrait in their kitchen; and recipes. This is a rare, intimate window into the lives and appetites of some of today's greatest culinary minds—including twelve chefs who share 36 Michelin stars between them.
