review 1: While not as irreverent as Roberts' blog, this tome still does well. You get the essence of a variety of food-oriented (I say this because there are cookbook authors, chefs, DIY maestros and more featured) people. I liked the variety, and that I didn't know who everyone was. The book itself is well organized, and has a bunch of interesting little tidbits (one tip was to grind your pepper in a marijuana grinder; I won't be trying that one anytime soon). I also liked the little notes that Roberts included next to the recipes, though they did get confusing at times when trying to match which note corresponded to which step.
review 2: One really does not read a cookbook but browses it. There are tidbits of new to me information that I can tuck away for future use.... more The chefts profiled in this book cover many cusines and food choices. One can see trends in the food industry and ingredients that are used over and over in the various chefs choices of menues. For a new cook there are simple dishes and for a more experienced cook there are a few more challenging ones. The best part of the book are the tips. Those are the sutle techniques that can make or break a dish.I picked this book up at the library and most like likely will not purchase a copy but might put it on a gift list. less
