My Last Supper

Title: My Last Supper: 50 Great Chefs and Their Final Meals
Author: Melanie Dunea
Pages:203 (Pages 1-146 interviews and pictures. Page 150-203 recipes)

NON-SPOILER INFO:
Melanie Dunea asked 50 great chefs the same 6 questions:
1.) What would be your last meal on earth?
2.) What would be the setting for the meal?
3.) What would you drink with your meal?
4.) Would there be music?
5.) Who would be your dining companions?
6.) Who would prepare the meal?

What she discovered are answers as varied as their chefs. Some chefs want the simple foods that remind them of home or family. For example, Tyler Florence wants to indulge in fried chicken. While other chefs, want the best of the best, like caviar and truffles, or the most exotic, like bone marrow.

VERDICT:
3 out of 5 stars. Interesting read. Although I’m not sure I would ever make the recipes in the back.
