Must buy for the serious Chef/Foodie
Coco World Leading Masters Choose Contemporary
Unlike the previous reviews I really feel that the 100 selected chefs in this book really represent the future "Adrias" "Ramseys" and "Ducasses" of the international food scene for the foreseeable future, many I'm sure, you will hear more and more about. The book is well laid out and a lot of recipes look and sound as if they could actually work, although some are hopelessly restaurant only (unless you have 15K to plop down on an ultrasonic infusion machine:) The choices of the chef panel is really eclectic and diverse, although the inclusion of some of the more lesser known Asian chefs on both the panel and the chosen chefs would only really be relevant and interesting to traditional Asian diners, I would personally liked it if they included more modernized Asian chefs like Yoshihiro Narisawa. It would have lent more relevance to the obviously modern slant most of the chosen represent in their cuisine. Not to slight in anyway traditional Asian cuisine which will always have a place. The same could be said about the more traditional choices by chefs like Alice Waters and Fergus Henderson. Just my opinion. Very inspirational for working chefs and a great feature of the immense talent that is coming out from all corners of the globe. The book is also a great deal considering it's content length and reasonable price. Though I find the Maypole like inclusion of bookmarks a little annoying. Two or three would have sufficed.
