Culinary Artistry by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg The book covers says it best: Through interviews with more than 30 of America’s leading chefs—including Rick Bayless, Daniel Boulud, Gray Kunz, Jean-Louis Palladin, Jeremiah Tower, and Alice Waters—the authors reveal what defines “culinary artists,” how and where they find their inspiration, and how they translate that vision to the plate.
