AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN Away from the Kitchen by Dawn Blume Hawkes provides a new breed of exploration into the chef-obsessed revolution by capturing the joys and pressures of a chef's life with a candid approach. America's favorite chefs from across the nation reveal who they are during the private talks about their dreams, talents, and creative endeavors, and, until now, many undisclosed passions both inside and outside the kitchen.Featured chefs offer up their cherished breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert menus - many of which include guarded and unpublished recipes. Robert Del Grande's "Country Western Breakfast," Nancy Silverton's "Farmers' Market Lunch for all Seasons," Frank Stitt's "Alabama Asado," and Roy Yamaguchi's "Hawaiian Garage Barbecue" are just a few of the imaginative and mouth-watering meals to be discovered. Also included are the personal stories behind each menu, and, best of all, the chefs' insider kitchen tools and tips.Away from the Kitchen delivers to those who want it all - the menus, the recipes, the tips, and the chef "scoop" - providing the unique ingredients that make the "chef cocktail" new and refreshing!
