Thanks to the talents of author Kathryn Levy Feldman and photographer Sabine Louise Pierce, The Culinary Canine brings forth the stories of these chefs, portraits of their spoiled, well-fed canines, and over thirty unique (and doable) recipes! Among the chefs interviewed and featured in this book are restaurant owners and professionals from coast to coast;from New York City, Boston, and Chicago to San Francisco and L.A.;some of whom were former contestants on Top Chef Masters, Iron Chef America, and Chopped!The chefs include: Cosme Aguilar, Karyn Calabrese, Steve Chiappetti, Dominique Crenn, Roberta Deen, Geraldine Gilliland, Carmen González, Troy Graves, Todd and Ellen Gray, Cornelia Cochrane Churchill Guest, Mya May (Christine) Gyaw, Kerry Heffernan, Diane Henderiks, Phyllis Kaplowitz, Nick Lacasse, Matthew Levin, Anita Lo, Tanya Nunes, Marc Pennvenne, Melissa Perello, Georges Perrier, Keith Roberts, Harry Schwartz, Amaryll Schwertner, Nicholas Shipp, Jay Silva, Guillermo Tellez, Dana Tommasino, Eileen Watkin, and Eli Zabar. Keeping the health as well as the gastronomical satisfaction of their canines in mind, the chefs' recipes focus on natural, organic ingredients and sound nutrition. For example, Georges Perrier, the chef proprietor of Le Bec-Fin and Georges' in Philadelphia, offers "Isabelle's ‘TouTou' Food," and Eli Zabar, owner of six chic eateries in New York City conjures up "Bread Soup for Dogs." Each recipe is unique, healthful, and fun to make (and chow down on).You don't need to be a chef (or even a terrible good cook) to master the recipes in this book, and your dog won't mind if you accidentally double the chicken, cheese, or quinoa!
