 Top Chef Cook Book December 16, 2008

This book is a Christmas gift for my son-in-law who is a chef. The "Top Chef" TV show is a "must watch" for him, so I thought he'd enjoy the cook book as one of his gifts.

"Top Chef: The Cookbook" is a comprehensive,generously photographed guide to Bravo's fun series. There are recipes, chef profiles, and catfights. The layout isn't exactly reader-friendly (books about television shows tend to be that way) However, it is sturdy enough for use in a kitchen, and it does have some easy recipes (along with dainty elegant ones) Not all the recipes require truffles,white asparagus,etc.
"Top Chef" covers the show's first three seasons in San Francisco, Los Angeles,and Miami. There are intros to each chef's distinctive style. "Top Chef",one would conclude,is the love child of "Iron Chef" and "Dinner Impossible." In the new season,for example,the chefs have had to please Alinea's Grant Achatz along with the Foo Fighters. They had to spontaneously make a soup,as well as cater for the rock group and their entourage. The challenges are riveting to watch. Unlike Iron Chef,Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio bring in judges from the outside,who have their own tastes.
"Top Chef" has it cooking!
Beware of Sunflower Seeds & Carrot Loaf December 8, 2008

Without a doubt this cookbook is a must have for any Top Chef fan. However, this book makes me seriously question the dishes cooked on the show. Last night I picked what appeared to be the easiest recipe in the book, the Sunflower Seeds & Carrot Loaf. If you remember Carlos made this amuse-bouche for a quickfire challenge in which contestants had to get their ingredients from a vending machine. The dish won the challenge. I followed the recipe perfectly and what resulted was one of the most phallic, God-awful things I have ever tasted. From the appearance to the lingering after-taste I have never had such a bad culinary experience.
