    <body><![CDATA[Has me thinking about gourmet cooking...  Needs to be read with some distance, as the author still holds a rather high opinion of himself.  Book still manages to provide a window into the adrenaline of haute cuisine, and I enjoyed that aspect of the work, as well as the author's passion for food and presentation, which became quite infectious.<br/><br/>The book was coauthored by a tabloid journalist, and has a &quot;People magazine&quot; tone to it, perhaps mixed with a dash of &quot;Time&quot;.  :)]]></body>
