Review: Rochelle Brown has captured the essence of these chefs and along with the wonderful photography of Michel Arnaud, she has really written an amazing book. It is so great to catch a glimpse of some of the behind the scenes action...This is the perfect gift for the food lover in your life. I bought it for my mom - she loved it!

Summary: Great Gift Book for the Foodie in Your Life
Review: The Chef, The Story and the Dish is one of the most interesting cookbooks I've read (and used!) in a long time. It not only has great recipes by some of my favorite chefs, but there's great background stories and pictures of each of them. I just had a dinner party and made 5 dishes from the book -- it was a huge hit!!!!! And I love the way she writes about the chefs. It's clear she knows them all personally. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for her next book!

Summary: a must for all foodies!
Review: This book is a must for all serious foodies, working in the food world I thought I knew most of the backgrounds of the great chefs noted here, ah! but I still learned more about them. The recipes are top notch, and must be tried. The beautiful shots of each chef can be framed they are so well done, capturing each personality. This is a book that the reader will go back to again and again if not for the recipes then to reread the stories.
