This site contains recipes, biographies, pictures and comments from celebrated chefs whose American restaurants have won awards or accolades. Most of those included own and/or run their own food establishments, and some have written books as well.
Well organised and easy to navigate, with good graphics although these could be a problem if you're on a low bandwidth.
The starchefs include:
Doug Rodriguez, owner/chef of Manhattan's 'Patria' and author of 'Nuevo Latino, recipes that celebrate the new Latin American cuisine'.
Nancy Silverton, reputed to be the 'best pastry chef in the West', and her restaurant-owner husband, Mark Peel with whom she co-wrote a recipe book.
Lynne Rosetto Kasper, author of 'The Splendid Table: Recipes from Emilia-Romagna, the heartland of Northern Italian Food.
New York Times columnist Molly O'Neill.
Daniel Boulud of Daniel restaurant, New York.
The Art Cookbook is just one section of Joost Borsboom's website. His illustrated recipes elegantly combine his talents for cooking and painting, and he modestly introduces them with the following rider: "All recipes are a compilation of selfmade cookactivities and other written recipes." The Netherlands-based artist adds that the paintings are interpretations of 'real' paintings adapted to the recipe.
