BOOK FEATURE : : : :

Top Chef may be turning up the heat in Chicago…

But you don't have to be in the windy city to play with fire! Featuring 100 fabulous recipes from the first three seasons of the show, including dishes from the Elimination Rounds and the Quick-Fire Challenges, TOP CHEF: THE COOKBOOK invites fans into the hottest kitchen on prime time. In-depth discussions with contestants, judges, and crew reveal the inner workings of the show, and lavish photographs take readers behind-the-scenes into the Top Chef pantry and the competition sites.

Handsomely packaged with a canvas cover inspired by the chef's jacket worn by each of the Top Chef contestants, this cookbook will have aspiring culinary contenders reliving classic show moments and relishing recipes straight from the pros. Fancy up your Sunday brunch with Mia's Crabcakes Benedict with Mango Cream Sauce, knock the socks off cocktail party guests with Sam's Espresso Shrimp Flambéed with Sambuca, or curl up with Dave's Truffle and Cognac Cream Macaroni and Cheese when comfort food calls.

With the official companion cookbook to "the best food competition on TV" (Los Angeles Times), you'll be braising and brûléeing like the best of them before Padma can say, "Hands up, utensils down." Preview the book on our blog and order your copy today!
