A few weeks ago, Top Chef featured the team behind the Bocuse d’Or USA, the world’s most prestigious cooking competition. KNIVES AT DAWN: The American Quest for Culinary Glory at the Legendary Bocuse d’Or Competition, gives an unparalleled, behind-the-scenes look at the Bocuse d’Or.
Author Andrew Friedman illuminates the story of the groundbreaking support raised for the 2009 American team—what the team did, how they did it, and what they learned. This is the only book on the subject written with the full consent and cooperation of Chefs Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller as well as the Bocuse d’Or USA committee, and the book traces the selection of the American team, the development of their dishes, and their training at a specially outfitted house two doors down from Keller’s The French Laundry in Yountville, California.
Sounds like an interesting story, right? The publisher has offered to giveaway 2 copies of this book!

Giada’s show on the food network is my favorite!
i love “at home with the neeley’s”. although i’ve never cooked any of their recipes, i love the chemistry they have and they show how cooking can be fun!
Oh man, my dad would LOVE that book!
My favorite cooking show is definitely Paula Deen. I could never use that much butter, but she’s just adorable!
TOP CHEF!!
Barefoot Contessa or Paula Deen!!
I LOVE Top Chef!
I love alton brown because he brings in the science of cooking!
I love Sandra Lee, because like her, I am always looking for ways to save money in the kitchen

I love Nigela Bites and Giada…seriously I would love for either one to cook for me.
Top Chef!
I love Sandra Lee because everything is so easy and seems like something reasonable to throw together.
I love Giada!
I love Nigella Feasts and the Barefoot Contessa – I really want to be one of Ida’s friends, Hamptons anyone?
I LOOOVE watching Barefoot Contessa during work b/c her voice is so soothing. But nothing beats Top Chef in my heart!!
I love watching Giada on the Foodnetwork. It makes me laugh when she talks normal and throws in an Italian slang on a word – Parrrmegaanno!
Good Eats!
Throwdown with Bobby Flay!
My favorite is Ellie Krieger’s Healthy Appetite. Love her!
Love top chef and bobby flay
I looooove Top Chef. Really rooting for Bryan Voltaggio this season!
Definitely Top Chef! I was so sad when Jen was eliminated!
Oh I hope I’m not too late – my favorite cooking show is actually a British show, Gordon Ramsay’s The F Word. It’s not a traditional cooking show, per se, but it shows the preparation of many dishes, and it has such a focus on local food, I love it!
I love Top Chef and also Good Eats with Alton Brown
I love Top Chef and Bobby Flay!
I love Iron Chef America. It’s so kitchy sometimes, and the chairman is a hoot (so theatrical!), but the creativity is awesome.
Top Chef!
Top Chef is definitely my favorite. The Masters version was the best
