GREAT BOOK AND GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER

I enjoyed reading this book and looking at the photos. The photos are great of many great chefs. I enjoyed reading that many of the great chefs wanted simple meals from their youth as their last meal, not some fancy gourmet dish. I enjoyed the recipes in the back of the book. I was especially happy that my 18 year old son saw the book on the table and started reading it. We had some very interesting discussions about what each of us would choose as our last supper. Any time a book leads to family discusses its a keeper. I would recommend this book.

Coffee Table book for foodies

Excellent quality book with beautiful and funny/candid photos of some of the world's great chefs. I gave it as a gift to a family member who also works in the food world and it was a big hit. The last meals are varied and illustrative that chefs like the good stuff, but also easy, everyday, comfort food. The price is now right on amazon and if you know someone who likes this stuff and the personalities in the business then this book's for you.

My Last Supper

This is a "must" for all the gastronomes out there! This is not "required" reading for cooks, or for people who love cooking. But this is "fun" reading, as it is fascinating to read (and see!) what some of the great chefs of the world would think they would choose for their last meal. This kind of "game" has been going on for decades (if not longer) between chefs. It is great to have it shared in such a beautiful bound volume, to savor. Enjoy!

A Perfect Gift for a Foodie

I gave this book to my mother, who is a complete "foodie," for Christmas. She loved it. The photos are as entertaining as the descriptions of each last supper. It's a great book for anyone who loves to eat, entertain, or cook. The photo of Anthony Bourdain is worth the cover price alone...

Annie Leibovitz meets Heat in this award-winning photographer?s stunning celebration of world-famous chefs and their final meals.

Chefs have been playing the ?My Last Supper? game among themselves for decades, if not centuries, but it had always been kept within the profession until now. Melanie Dunea came up with the ingenious idea to ask fifty of the world?s famous chefs to let her in on this insider?s game and tell her what their final meals would be. My Last Supper showcases their fascinating answers alongside stunning Vanity Fair?style portraits. Their responses are surprising, refreshing, and as distinct from each other as the chefs themselves. The portraits?gorgeous, intimate, and playful?are informed by their answers and reveal the passions and personalities of the most respected names in the business. Lastly, one recipe from each landmark meal is included in the back of the book. With My Last Supper, Dunea found a way into the typically harried, hidden minds of the people who have turned preparing food into an art. Who wouldn?t want to know where Alain Ducasse would like his supper to be? And who would prepare Daniel Boulud?s final meal? What would Anthony Bourdain?s guest list look like? As the clock ticked, what album would Gordon Ramsay be listening to? And just what would Mario Batali eat for the last time?

Featuring: Ferrán Adrià, José Andrés, Dan Barber, Lidia Bastianich, Mario Batali, Rick Bayless, Michelle Bernstein, Daniel Boulud, Anthony Bourdain, Scott Conant, Gary Danko, Hélène Darroze, Alain Ducasse, Wylie Dufresne, Suzanne Goin, Gabrielle Hamilton, Fergus Henderson, Thomas Keller, Giorgio Locatelli, Masa Kobayashi, Nobu, Jamie Oliver, Jacques Pepin, Gordon Ramsay, Michel Richard, Eric Ripert, Marcus Samuelsson, Charlie Trotter, Jean-Georges Vongerichten and more?
