Annie Leibovitz meets Heat in this award-winning photographerโs stunning celebration of world-famous chefs and their final meals.
Chefs have been playing the โMy Last Supperโ 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 worldโs famous chefs to let her in on this insiderโs game and tell her what their final meals would be. My Last Supper showcases their fascinating answers alongside stunning Vanity Fairโstyle portraits. Their responses are surprising, refreshing, and as distinct from each other as the chefs themselves. The portraitsโgorgeous, intimate, and playfulโare 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 wouldnโt want to know where Alain Ducasse would like his supper to be? And who would prepare Daniel Bouludโs final meal? What would Anthony Bourdainโs 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?
