About this title

Synopsis

American cooking icon James Beard was passionate about life, and he shared his zeal with others through his cooking. The James Beard Foundation has been dedicated to continuing his legacy by recognizing those aspiring cooks who have preserved and perpetuate Beard’s commitment and devotion. The year 2003 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of James Beard, and in an unprecedented culinary event, 21 master chefs, who have all garnered prestigious James Beard Foundation Awards, share their passion in Winning Styles Cookbook: Recipes from the James Beard Foundation Award Winning Chefs.

Winning Styles Cookbook is a veritable all-star team of super chefs who reveal the stories behind their success as well as more than 100 recipes – all complemented by stunning full-color photography throughout. Food professionals and home cooks alike will revel in this practical guide that is also a beautiful testament to the memory of the illustrious James Beard. This inspired new cookbook will give the reader the opportunity to learn the techniques for preparing basics such as stocks and sorbets to the chefs’ prized risottos and ragouts – all of which are accompanied by food and beverage pairings. But the book, with its many photographs of the chefs themselves, is a window into their lives and a moving, personal account of the struggle and success of these dedicated and gifted men and women. Winning Styles Cookbook is a unique compendium that matches the lives and faces of the artists to the great work that is the legacy of James Beard.
