I only flipped through this one. The book is absolutely gorgeous - there are pictures and bios of the show's contestants and judges, pictures of yummy-looking dishes, picture explanations of various cooking techniques, etc. But I question this book's practicality. Maybe 1% of the recipes are actually doable at home or financially feasible. How many of us will buy a blowtorch to make Howie's Berries and Ice Cream? Or buy truffle oil for Richard B.'s Vegetarian "Sashimi"? Plus, after you invest mo...
The Top Chef Quickfire Cookbook by Emily Wise Miller (editor) (pp. 224)A collection of dishes created during the first five seasons of Top Chef scattered with fan content. The recipes themselves are hit and miss. Many have one or two seasonal ingredients that make them difficult to make as described. Reading the ingredient lists, you get a sense of flavor combos that you might not have tried and could easily incorporate. There’s a lot to learn about trendy flavor profiles by just reading the ing...
Not as informative as the 1st cookbook. However, several easily adaptive recipes and cover first 5 seasons. Still good for Top Chef fans.
I don't really know if I expected to cook anything from this book, but I promise I had good intentions. The pictures are awesome, of course, and it makes me want to eat the food, however look to the other side of the page and read how to make it. That will change your mind. I honestly don't know how the contestants made these dishes in 30 minutes because it would take me that long just to find all the ingredients (that is even I have some of the expensive/obscure ones that are required). So basi...
If you are a fan of the show and like trivia, you'll probably like this book. On top of the trivia, which is fairly interesting, and sometimes funny, there are some pretty darned yummy looking recipes in here. I admit, I haven't made any yet, but my time right now is pretty tight. However, after having checked the book out from the library twice now (and finally getting time to look through the whole book), I can honestly say that I will be purchasing a copy for myself.
Pretty good book. Some of the recipes even look doable for an average cook like me. The book definitely gave me ideas. And I like seeing all of the comments and the little blurbs of what became of the first 5 seasons' contestants.
Fun if you are a Top Chef fan, but really precious little in here that you'd want to take the time to cook.
I got this from the library to review to see if would use it and there are a few recipes that I think I would actually use, so I will be getting my own copy of it.
Autographed by Season 6 Cheftestants Eli Kirshtein and Ash Fulk when they came to a Top Chef event in Seattle!
I don't know that I would actually cook anything out of this book, but it was fun to read as a fan of the show, with interesting little snippets about the food and the chefs who prepared it.
I also luv the show top chef. Has some pretty cool recipies!
The layout of this one is horrendous, waaaay too many colors and fonts and changes in page organization -- next to impossible to read, it's like bad webpage design run rampant. But it is nice to be able to re-visit some of the early-season chefs and their dishes.
A great follow along as you go through the show. I didn't ever attempt any of the recipes, but the book is a good companion for any fans of the show
