Coco 10 World-Leading Masters Choose 100 Contemporary Chefs
Coco has so much going for it; it’s hard to know where to start... Coco (Phaidon Press $49.95), is a tome, dedicated to showcasing the next generation of global culinary talent.

Within its 448 pages, ten culinary icons; Ferran Adrià, Mario Batali, Shannon Bennett, Alain Ducasse, Fergus Henderson, Yoshihiro Murata, Gordon Ramsay, René Redzepi, Alice Waters and Jacky Yu select the chefs they believe to posses exceptional talent and cook today’s most contemporary cuisine.

Arranged alphabetically, the book presents each chosen chef with an insightful essay from the "chef-curator" explaining their pick, a bio, sample menu, and gorgeous full-color images of the restaurant, the kitchen and the chef at work.

Each of the chefs share several recipes such as David Chang's Mackerel with Kimchi Puree, Chris Cosentino’s Boccalone Sanguinaccio, Duck Egg, and Warm Oyster and Filip Langoff's Pigeon with onions, porcini mushrooms, and flavors of the forest.

Part cookbook, part guide to the world's best new restaurants, and part who's who of the international food scene, Coco is an awesome addition to any food lover and a most have for any professional chef.
