GREAT BOOK AND GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER

I enjoyed reading this book and looking at the photos. The photos are great of many great chefs. I enjoyed reading that many of the great chefs wanted simple meals from their youth as their last meal, not some fancy gourmet dish. I enjoyed the recipes in the back of the book. I was especially happy that my 18 year old son saw the book on the table and started reading it. We had some very interesting discussions about what each of us would choose as our last supper. Any time a book leads to family discusses its a keeper. I would recommend this book.

MY LAST SUPPER

I recently bought this amazing book What makes it so interesting is the fact itincludes so many of the world's top chefs all in one book. it was fascinating to learn about the chefs, their last supper and who they would share this occasion with. I think the author Melanie Dunea has hit a home run !!! what a great idea, beautiful photography.. the book makes such a wonderful gift to anyone who is interested in food, chefs and photography!!! I can't wait for the author's next idea!! 5 STARS!! Geoff

A truly beautiful book

I LOVE this book! Though at first glance, one might think, coffee table book, but Melanie Dunea's "My Last Supper" is so much more than that! Not only are the pictures amazing, the chefs responses are fascinating. I really love how the photos reflect each chefs last supper. As an added bonus, you get recipes too! "My Last Supper" is a beautiful book with substance and sustenance (though not provided, that's up to you)! All I wanted to do after reading this book was to eat, drink, and be merry!

I can't believe this hasn't been done before.

What a great idea! It's a treat in itself to flip through the pages of beautiful pictures. It's so interesting to read what these famous chefs would actually want to eat for their last supper. And an added treat...some of the chefs describe not only what they would eat, but the scene of their last meal...music and company included! This book is the perfect x-mas gift for all of your foodie friends.
