The Chefs of the Times: More Than 200 Recipes and Reflections from Some of America’s Most Creative Chefs Based on the Popular Column in The New York Times

Like any artist, a great chef relies on that mysterious impulse called inspiration – as well as a deep understanding of the basics and a flair for experimentation. This probing, far-ranging cookbook takes readers inside the minds and kitchens of 23 of the most inspired and revered chefs in America today. It illuminates how they think and demonstrates a suprising truth: spectacular cooking can be done at home. Only a great chef could have created these recipes-but re-creating each dish at home is a piece of cake, using the clear recipes in this book.

Sample for yourself the genius of Jean-Georges Vongerichten through his Shrimp Satay with Oyster Sauce and move along to Alfred Portale’s Pan-Roasted Filet Mignon with Potato-Garlic Gratin, Amy Scherber’s Decadent Chocolate-Cherry Rolls, and Philippe Conticini’s Banana Croque Monsieur. Visit the chef’s kitchen to learn how these dishes were born and why everyone loves them at first bite.
