Customer Reviews

Best put together cookbook ever!

This cookbook is arranged great! The recipes are really gourmet,but easy enough for the novice. Plus I have enjoyed reading about all the restaurants he has worked in or owned.My collection cookbooks is in the hundreds, but I think this one of the very best!!!

Detroit's cuisinier does good

We Detroiters knew Famie before this whole "Survivor" thing, and we knew how great he was at making dishes that are works of art and speak of his passion. This book takes us through his entire career, with recipes from his years at Les Auteurs and the Durgano Grill (I miss that place ...), as well as what he discovered from his trips around the world. The photography is excellent, the descriptions and directions are easy to understand, and the whole book is a loving tribute to a man and his craft. For anyone who doubted his skills at cooking that certain Outback survival dish (hint: it's a four-letter word), this collection will prove you wrong. I can only hope Keith opens another restaurant in Detroit again. Bravo!

Great book, especially for a "Survivor".

This is a great book of creativitey. I reccomend this book to all creative cookers, like myselF. This adds to my great collection of cookbooks.

Survivor guy cooks other things than rice

So I got this book.... I like it. I heard it was being worked on long before Keith was supposed to be on Survivor. It looks that way. I see no refrence to Survivor in the book, just good world food from the restaurants that he has been a part of. The photography is awsome. I would buy this book if you want to see what this guy is really like...about 60 recipes. This book should cost $45 by the looks of the production...they probably put the price tag on before he hit SURVIVORTry making the "trout in a bag" or the "Michigan stuffed morels with smoked whitefish mousse"

The Best

I loves this book. I learned about it on survivor. It had all kinds of wierd stuff you never would want to eat, but the recipes are really good.
