Bobby Flay's From My Kitchen to Your Table

by Bobby Flay, Joan Schwartz, Tom Eckerle (Photographer)

You've seen him on The Food Network, grillin' and chillin'. And on Lifetime's The Main Ingredient, demystifying cooking. And if you're lucky, you've eaten in one of Bobby Flay's three New York city restaurants. Now Bobby's using his formidable culinary talents to turn entertaining on its ear, sharing the secrets of his kitchen and making them accessible to you.

"Why make a meal that you can't enjoy with everyone else?" asks Bobby. "Let me introduce you to food that is fun!" And fun it is. Bobby's party dishes are a bold and fragrant mix. Nothing is designed specifically to be an appetizer or a main course--instead, everything is heaped in large bowls or arranged on oversized platters and set out on the table at the same time. To help you in the kitchen, recipes are organized according to where the dish is prepared or how it is served ("From the Oven," "Cool Platters"), with easy-to-find ingredients and simple-to-follow instructions. Many of the dishes or their components can be made ahead of time.

[Ida Wilcox · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is made for those who is advanced in the kitchen.

The Recipes sounds nice but it will take for ever to cook and find all the ingredients.

On top of that there arent any color pictures of the final product. You have no idea if you have done it correctly or not.

There are some really delicious recipes in here but they take a really long time and the ingredients needed are lengthy. Makes grilling more complicated than I would like it to be.
