Magic in the Kitchen by Jan Bartelsman ($50.00, Artisan) is striking for its astonishing photographs of 40 of America’s top chefs (including Houston’s own Robert Del Grande). These photo-montages by Dutch photographer Jan Bartelsman are worth the price of the book alone, and the profiles of the illustrated chefs are interesting enough. The recipes, however, are too long, too complicated and too bizarre to appeal to the average home cook. |
