Summary: I love this cookbook!
Review: Home Food is a delightful way to get to know some of America's star chefs! In addition to delicious and easy to prepare recipes, the book has photos and in-depth chef interviews. It is fun to learn about the different paths which led them into the world of cuisine. Be forewarned, you will find yourself wanting some of these chef's cookbooks. Like today, I could not resist "Lidia's Italian Table" and Todd English's "Figs Table".

Summary: Easy to follow, delicious recipes; great chef bios.
Review: I've tried most of the recipes in this book and not one has been bad! It's a beautifully laid out book with interesting stories from some of America's greatest chefs. The recipes encourage me to test my skills, while still being recognizable to execute.

Summary: Something special
Review: Organized alphabetically by chef, each chapter in this delighful collection includes a full dinner menu from such names as Zarela Martinez, Madeleine Kamman, Rick Bayless and Barbara Tropp.Noel Cunningham cooks a romantic dinner of warm goat cheese and mixed greens salad, roast loin of pork with dried cherries, mushrooms, roasted potatoes with carrots and broccoli, and cappuccino souffles. Louis Osteen offers a Wadmawlaw Sweets onion tart, pan-fried soft-shell crabs, fried green tomatoes, stewed rabbit smothered with onions, southern biscuits, and buttermilk tart with raspberries. The authors give a little background information on each chef along with a photo, and tips are scattered throughout, including wine suggestions. This book is at least as much fun to read as to cook with.
