Twenty-two chefs are interviewed by renowned architecture and design writer Stephen Crafti, and each profile is captured through gorgeous, intimate imagery by celebrated photographer Catherine Sutherland. The foreword is written by foodie extraordinaire, Matt Preston, judge on the MasterChef Australia television series for ten years
The pages feature fabulous conversations with each chef in their home environment, while they are preparing a meal in their home. The chefs—and their architects and designers—answer important questions, such as what makes a great kitchen as much as a great meal; what makes these kitchens unique; what are some of the less obvious things that need to be addressed; what is the range of fresh produce grown in their own gardens that goes into their iconic food creations, and so much more

Full Description

Great food culture starts at home—especially when it’s from the chef’s home kitchen and garden! Be inspired by this unique and visually stunning book, which takes a behind-the-scenes look into the home kitchens (and gardens) of 22 celebrity chefs. Each chef is interviewed by renowned architecture and design writer Stephen Crafti, and each profile is captured through gorgeous, intimate imagery by celebrated photographer Catherine Sutherland. Featuring fabulous, inspiring conversations with each chef in their personal living spaces, while they are preparing a meal in their stunning kitchen, and with a close look at their kitchen’s architectural design, and garden style, this book celebrates not only a large group of fine chefs, but also the architects and interior designers who make these chefs’ kitchens a pleasure to work in. This beautifully illustrated book is filled with inspiration for foodies (included are delicious recipes from each cook), gardeners, and design aficionados, and offers a unique peek into the kitchens, homes, and—often very private—lives of these amazing artisans.
