JBF's Best of the Best: José Andrés Bonus Chapter!

Our recently released book, The James Beard Foundation's Best of the Best: A 25th Anniversary Celebration of America's Outstanding Chefs, profiles the winners of the Foundation's Outstanding Chef award from 1991 to 2010, and also offers several delicious recipes from each one. When we went to press in 2011, the always charming José Andrés had just nabbed that year's Outstanding Chef award, so author Kit Wohl got to work on a bonus chapter. We decided to make it available to everyone, so download the PDF now. It includes four delicious recipes, including Andrés's oddball spin on the Philly cheesesteak and a shrimp and grapefruit salad that comes together in minutes. If you like what you see, order a copy of the full book.
