For all of you that have been in one or more cooking classes with Vicki and Steve, then you are aware of the irreverent, humorous style that these two have. You are also made abundantly aware of the immense, encyclopedic knowledge of Vicki (Steve is no slouch himself). As you read each page, it's like being in class again; what an enjoyable text. Steve's pictures are the best in the business. I have been taking photographs since I was fourteen and know how hard it is to get any one of these beauties, and here is a book of them! What most people don't know is that what a restraint chef tells you is a recipe for a dish and what that recipe actually is, is not an easy thing. Knowing Vicki from her classes, I know she has spent endless hours re-measuring, simplifying, testing so that us mere kitchen mortals can make these dishes work.! What a great book! Please Caparulos give us MORE!!
Vicki and Steve have been playing with their food again

If your idea of nirvana is settling in with a good (cook)book to read cover to cover, then this is the book for you. If you think that a cookbook is merely a reference manual, this one will change your mind.For those who have been fortunate enough to be in one or more of Vicki and Steve's cooking classes, you can attest that to replicate one of Vicki's recipes in your own home is an inviation to accolades. The even more fortunate who have cooked in that forty-five square foot kitchen about which she speaks will realize the book is a conversation with Vicki. It is witty and irreverent, yet a precise approach to the methodology of creating a tasty, striking presentation. Steve's photographs of each dish are beautifully done and an asset to the amateur chef for the final perfect finishing touches. From start to finish this cookbook is fun and educational. Most "pretty" cookbooks may contain just one or two recipes which end up in your personal collection, this one is sure to add dozens.If you love food, you will love this book.
