Rodale Books MasterChef: The Ultimate Cookbook

WELL DONE ANOTHER OF THE MASTERCHEF WELL ILLISTRATED WELL PRESENTED I SAW THE PROGRAMME AND IT WAS VERY GOOD THE RECIPES ARE GOOD TO

Yes, I was a MasterChef groupie while the program was on. Wish there was a followup - but on the other hand, Gordon Ramsey on the tube 3-4 nights a week gets a little @#$%^ing old - LOL. So you pick up the bet recipes and the techniques of all the chefs throughout the series. I've really enjoyed several of the dishes. Haven't NOT enjoyed any of them. Perhaps the only drawback is the expense of the components. It's easy to watch on TV as they whip out a few lobsters, or monster rib-eye steaks, sea urchins, rock crabs, etc and you don't think anything about the cost of the dish they are preparing. But to do these recipes right, you need to replicate these high quality ingredients and they are not cheap - heck they may not even be available at your local Safeway or King Soopers, so you'll need two things: 1) Access to a high-end, restaurant quality food market and 2) Permission from your banker before you go shopping! LOL Overall, it's a GREAT cookbook. Enjoy! Bon Appetite! Buono Appetito

The recipes in this book are simple and amazing and very easy to make. Will definitely be using this to make some food. Recommend to anyone interested in culinary arts or cooking or anyone who desires to be a Master Chef!!!

This cookbook has a lot of awesome recipes

Masterchef Ultimate Cookbook is a very good cookbook with minimal overlap with Masterchef Cookbook. It is a must buy for fans of the series for sure. The approach is to explain the goal of each dish that the contestant made so the teaching approach is more indirect. There are not specific "Techniques" pages or recipes from the judges. There is also some content spent on what some of the past contestants are up to. In comparison, Masterchef Cookbook has sections on: Kitchen tools Kitchen Pantry Techniques include for chopping onion, poaching an egg, cubing a mango, peeling a mango, segmenting citrus, boiling and poaching an egg, cracking a crab, seeding tomato, toasting spices, cleaning leeks, homemade pasta, perfect pie crust, cooking rice, roasting and cutting a turkey, and making chicken, beef and vegetable broths. There are also recipes from the Masterchef kitchen and not just from the contestants. Amazon, of course, is excellent. I preordered the book weeks before and got it exactly on Sept 18 as promised.
