Recipes That Set the Standard

Cook Like a Michelin-Star Chef! This section is made for true gourmets—people like you. I go to great lengths to convince the world’s best chefs to share their most guarded recipes. I plead, negotiate, and sometimes resort to a little creative persuasion—all to bring you the chance to recreate dishes worth traveling across the globe for.
