Melanie Dunea meets Heat in this award-winning photographer's stunning celebration of world-famous chefs and their final meals.
Chefs have been playing the "My Last Supper" game among themselves for decades, if not centuries, but it had always been kept within the profession until now. Melanie Dunea came up with the ingenious idea to ask fifty of the world's famous chefs to let her in on this insider's game and tell her what their final meals would be. My Last Supper showcases their fascinating answers alongside stunning Vanity Fair-style portraits. Their responses are surprising, refreshing, and as distinct from each other as the chefs themselves. The portraits--gorgeous, intimate, and playful--are informed by their answers and reveal the passions and personalities of the most respected names in the business. Lastly, one recipe from each landmark meal is included in the back of the book. With My Last Supper, Dunea found a way into the typically harried, hidden minds of the people who have turned preparing food into an art. Who wouldn't want to know where Alain Ducasse would like his supper to be? And who would prepare Daniel Boulud's final meal? What would Anthony Bourdain's guest list look like? As the clock ticked, what album would Gordon Ramsay be listening to? And just what would Mario Batali eat for the last time?
Featuring Ferrán Adrià , José Andrés, Dan Barber, Lidia Bastianich, Mario Batali, Rick Bayless, Michelle Bernstein, Daniel Boulud, Anthony Bourdain, Scott Conant, Gary Danko, Hélène Darroze, Alain Ducasse, Wylie Dufresne, Suzanne Goin, Gabrielle Hamilton, Fergus Henderson, Thomas Keller, Giorgio Locatelli, Masa Kobayashi, Nobu, Jamie Oliver, Jacques Pepin, Gordon Ramsay, Michel Richard, Eric Ripert, Marcus Samuelsson, Charlie Trotter, Jean-Georges Vongerichten and more…

- What an interesting thesis! What would be the last supper of a series of fine chefs! Melanie Dunea, the author, notes (page 7) "Chefs have been playing the 'My Last Supper' game, in one version or another, since humans first gathered round the flames to cook. . . . "If you were to die tomorrow, what single dish, what one mouthful of food, would you choose as your last?"
And then, we see the answer to that existential question by 50 chefs.
Anthony Bourdain says that his final dish would be "Roast bone marrow with parsley and caper salad, with a few toasted slices of baguette and some good sea salt." So far, so good. We see his recipe for the marrow at the end of the book, and it's a bit different!
What about Mario Batali? He'd like his last meal on the Amalfi Coast, with his family and friends such as Emeril Lagasse. The meal itself? Eight to ten courses! Beginning with marinated anchovies, to a Neapolitan version of a grilled cheese sandwich, to . . . And on it goes. He gives us a recipe for one item, Shrimp in Crazy Water--but not the rest. Would have been fun to get the whole picture.
Then, Alain Ducasse. He would begin with a coponata (a Sicilian specialty), then roasted quail in Madiran wine sauce, then smooth celeriac puree with nutmeg, and a finish with apple slices. Again, boy, I'd like to see all of the recipes, although his Melt-in-Your-Mouth Apple Slices, which is included in the volume, looks pretty good.
And on it goes. It's kind of fun to see what these fine chefs would have as their last meal, whom they would like to done with, whom they would like to cook the meal, where they would like the meal to take place. I find this work enchanting. But, again, I'd sure like to see all of the recipes for those final meals, rather than the small selection. Without that, this seems just a bit incomplete. Still and all, this is a neat volume. - Great stories...It was nice to have a little insight into these great chefs. The locales described sound wonderful.
And the recipes...oh yeah...I don't cook very well, but the recipes made me want to learn a little. - I got this as a gift for a friend who is a really great cook and he loved it. It is very unique and is a great gift for a home cook or chef who as every other cookbook known to man.
- I bought 2 books and they both came wrinkled form all the corners! I was very dissapointed because they were gifts.
- This was an introduction to foods I've never eaten, wines I've never tasted, and places I've never been. But more importantly, it forced me to ask why I'd done none of the above. It also made me think about who I would have at my last meal and what is really important. Better than any self-help book or so-called inspiration text, this book makes life a beautiful buffet that you never want to stop visiting. Everyone on my gift list is getting this book!
- A fun and enlightening read. Would buy again.
- Excellent quality book with beautiful and funny/candid photos of some of the world's great chefs. I gave it as a gift to a family member who also works in the food world and it was a big hit. The last meals are varied and illustrative that chefs like the good stuff, but also easy, everyday, comfort food. The price is now right on and if you know someone who likes this stuff and the personalities in the business then this book's for you.
- Asking people for their ultimate food fantasy is a great dinner-party game. This is a delightful collection that touches on so many levels of food and living . . . and dying. What a treat!
