Annie Leibovitz meets Heat in this award-winning
photographer’s stunning celebration of world-famous chefs
and their final meals.
Chefs have been
playing the “My Last Supper” game among themselves for
decades, if not centuries, but it had always been kept
within the profession until now. Melanie Dunea came up with
the ingenious idea to ask fifty of the world’s famous chefs
to let her in on this insider’s game and tell her what their
final meals would be. My Last Supper showcases their
fascinating answers alongside stunning Vanity
Fair–style portraits. Their responses are surprising,
refreshing, and as distinct from each other as the chefs
themselves. The portraits—gorgeous, intimate, and
playful—are informed by their answers and reveal the
passions and personalities of the most respected names in
the business. Lastly, one recipe from each landmark meal is
included in the back of the book. With My Last
Supper, Dunea found a way into the typically harried,
hidden minds of the people who have turned preparing food
into an art. Who wouldn’t want to know where Alain Ducasse
would like his supper to be? And who would prepare Daniel
Boulud’s final meal? What would Anthony Bourdain’s guest
list look like? As the clock ticked, what album would Gordon
Ramsay be listening to? And just what would Mario Batali eat
for the last time?
