Summary: A perfect mix of delicious food and photograghy
Review: This cookbook is a must have. I hosted a dinner party and each guest selected a recipe from the book. The recipes were easy to prepare and the food was absolutely delicious. Anne Currie's pasta recipe on the cover was sensational. The Rosemary Puff's were a big hit too. Flipping through the gorgeous photos and recipes may satiate one's curiousity as to what the 'star's' eat, but actually preparing these recipes with your own two hands and savoring them is even more satisfying. I plan on buying an abundance of these to give away for the holidays, knowing that the proceeds will benefit a great cause.

Summary: Star Power Put to Good Use
Review: This is a great cookbook and I thoroughly enjoyed the insight to what the stars profess to cook - and presumably eat. Only the likes of Anna Kourkikova could come close to making borscht look sexy. There is a good mix of all courses from a wide range of well known celebrities. I don't consider myself a star gazer but I know of most of the ones in the book. Several well known chefs also contributed their better known recipes. My favorite is the Benehina salad dressing from Chef Rocky Aoki. That stuff makes anything taste great. Most of the recipes are quite simple. Joan Rivers provides the penultimate in this category - toast. It's all I expected of her though. Probably the best thing about the book though is knowing I contributed to a good cause. After seeing it I bought several more for Christmas presents.

Summary: She held it close to her heart
Review: When I saw the book on the tablets of the US Open I went through every pages. This book has more stars than the Universe. Well structured and beautiful pictures. Hmmmmmm good recipes. I was surprised to see that Andre is a good cook. How about Bill Gates doing some cooking. Than I saw Tami around in the uS Open promoting her book,, she held it so close to her heart. Now I know why.
Made for you and me. Bravo Tami
