Publisher's Synopsis
Back in the early- to mid-2000s, a powerful trend in the industry began gaining overwhelming strength. The tattoo became a symbol for not only one being a lover of rock 'n' roll and punk, but also for working with knives, fire, and sweaty, tough conditions. It became a statement to how serious you were as a cook or a chef. The more tattoos you had and the more the ink displayed food-related images, the more passion you had for your craft, in many people's eyes.
This book goes beyond their Michelin stars and chef's coats to explore what lies beneath: seasoned cooks who love preparing original plates and wear their tattoos proudly as they share the experiences that led them to the kitchen. Inside this cookbook, you'll discover a range of recipes as diverse as the chefs themselves, as well as personal details about the chef's remarkable journeys through the kitchen (and the tattoo parlor). From Lish Steiling's Roasted Parsnip and Kale Salad to Rick Tramonto's Gemelli with Chicken and Spring Herb Sauce to Duff Goldman's Pineapple Hummingbird Cake, each revealing profile offers a never-before-seen peek behind the kitchen door and into the mind of a chef.
Complete with hundreds of full-color photographs and 60 delicious recipes from today's top chefs, this book invites you into their kitchens to sample some of world's best plates.
