ABOUT THE COOKBOOK:

On the heels of winning the Emmy for Best Reality Show last week, I thought it would be fun to kick off BRUNCH WITH BINGO'S first Sunday with THE TOP CHEF: THE QUICKFIRE CHALLENGE COOKBOOK. This is one of my favorite shows and the book is gorgeous!

The much-anticipated follow-up to the New York Times best-selling Top Chef: The Cookbook is here! Drawing from the first 5 seasons of the show, Top Chef: The Quickfire Cookbook features 75 of the best recipes—from Spike's Pizza alla Greek to Stephanie's Bittersweet Chocolate Cake—culled from the Top Chef Quickfire Challenges. Everything the home chef needs to assemble an impressive meal and channel the energy of the Quickfire kitchen is collected here, including advice on hosting a Quickfire Cocktail Party and staging Quickfire Challenges at home. Best of all, this book is spilling over with sidebar material, including tips for home chefs, interviews with contestants, fabulous photos, and fun trivia related to the chefs, dishes, and ingredients that make Top Chef a favorite.

FOREWORD:

Padma Lakshmi is host of Top Chef. A former model and actress, she is the author of two cookbooks. Her introduction is as charming as she is. She says, "The Quickfire forces our Chef'Testants to do, in a sense, what we do at home on most nights, and that is what this book is about.: Taking the fruits of the creativity and talent of our chefs and bringing them home to you."

INTRODUCTION:

The introduction gives an overview of what the Chefs and the book are dealing with when Quickfire Challenge is mentioned. It says, "The Quickfire Challenge--with its curveball ingredients and sadistic time limits--is not only the most audacious and hair-raising part of the show, it is also the most inspiring."

This part also includes information and photographs entitled "Behind the Scenes with TOP CHEF Producers".

PHOTOGRAPHER:


Antonis Achilleos is a New York-based photographer
