Chefs’ recipes are often brilliant and creative, but also virtually impossible for home cooks to recreate. In FOOD & WINE CHEF RECIPES MADE EASY cookbook, based on one of the magazine’s most popular columns, over one hundred fantastic recipes from star chefs like Daniel Boulud, Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, and Wolfgang Puck are streamlined for home cooking.
I love the idea here, but in reality, most of these recipes still felt well beyond my reach. Most of the more accessible recipes (arugula and ricotta salad, for example) weren't really eye-catching, at least not to somebody who hasn't eaten in the restaurant.
