Honestly, this is a great concept, but the author's writing style and descriptions lead me to believe there wasn't a food writing-friendly editor available. The writing is flat and basic, and almost comically so. I devour cookbooks on a near-weekly basis from my local library, and I've never read (and I read - every page! out of almost dumbfounded-shock) quite as lackluster as this. And the interviews with the chefs, layed out as they were, was boring, even when they had interesting things to say.
