When
I first heard about this book I thought, do we really a book filled with fussy
food for high maintenance celebrities. It turns out, yes. Home cooks can learn
a lot of practical tips and techniques from chef to the stars Richard Florczak
(on staff personal chef to Mel Gibson plus freelance jobs with Jennifer Garner
and other Hollywood luminaries). After all, the private home chef does not have
the luxury of a staffed, prepped kitchen that his restaurant counterparts do.
He has to do it all -- from shopping to chopping to cooking and often even serving
and cleaning up afterward. As such his routine must efficient and streamlined,
although he must still turn out world class fare. Click
