 great product August 31, 2008
I love this cookbook, and it was in perfect condition. It was also perfectly priced!
great gift August 13, 2008
This was a gift for a friend who loves the show. She was very pleased.
 Beautiful book July 30, 2008
I bought this more for novelty than anything else. Like the show, I wish it was more about the food and less about the people. The pictures are lovely. Recipes are good, I haven't attempted them all yet. I recommend if you like the show.
Big Fan July 23, 2008
As a huge fan of Top Chef I was happy to read more in depth material on the show and the contestants. So much editing is done for on air purposes that the written remarks are more revealing. The reciepes are a little much for the home cook but can be modified. Excellent read!
The inside scoop for Top Chef fans. July 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a dedicated fan of TOP CHEF from the very first season ,who always wonders what I would do with the challenges (despite the fact, I'm only a "wanna be decent cook"), I bought this book because I always wonder what ingredients are actually available to use in the TOP CHEF Kitchen for those challenges.
Afterall, how could anyone create some of those "out of the vending machine in 20 minutes" or "canned food" dishes without a few extra ingredients? What, I wondered, if I were doing the challenges would I be able to use?
This book delivers on that question and more . While, apparently, the pantry ingredients for each challenge are TOP secret - the list of staples provided regularly and recipes from the various challenges - give a good sense of what the challenges truly consisted.
Judge perspectives, unique profiles of the contestants, recaps of the seasons and challenges, and sample applications --- all make this like a behind-the-scenes tour with old friends. Plus, it's laden with beautiful food pictures - and enough cooking tips, ideas and information to keep any amatuer chef happy.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY TOP CHEF FAN.
I also purchased Think Like a Chef, which is the selection you want to go for if you're more interested in cooking great recipes and learning about Tom's culinary perspective, than the behind-the-scenes look of the show (you won't find online) this one provides.
