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!

I love cooking/food shows in general but Good Eats with Alton Brown and Top Chef are definitely my faves.
I’m a huge Top Chef fan for the entertainment value, anything with Julia Child for the instructional value.
I love food network, especially Ina Garten! And I know it’s not a TV show, but I love Epicurious too!
I love love Top Chef and Barefoot Contessa. I learn so much from Ina Garten, and I like to watch the creative minds at work on Top Chef – I hope KEVIN wins!
It’s a toss up between Top Chef and Iron Chef for me!
It is both a show about travel and food, but I love Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations.” I really like his sardonic sense of humor.
i’m obsessed with top chef! i also like giada and ina garten
Top Chef, or anything with jamie oliver
Top Chef!
This sounds like an awesome book, I’ve always wanted to go to culinary school! My favorites would have to be jamie oliver, giada, guy and alton brown. When I watch tv it’s mostly the food network or HGTV
I love watching Jamie Oliver’s cooking shows on FoodTV
I love to watch Top Chef and Iron Chef.
Barefoot Contessa
I love Top Chef, but I also really enjoy Giada’s shows on the Food Network.
top chef – best ever! team kevin
also – love giada recipes and shows when i can catch them!
Iron chef
My favorite cooking show is Iron Chef – but not Iron Chef America, the original one that has been dubbed over with english. They really create some incredible dishes.

Bravo’s Top Chef! And I also love watching the original japanese Iron Chef with my husband while we snuggle together late at night
I love Robin Miller and Racheal Ray!
My favorite is anything by Mark Bittman aka ‘The Minimalist’
I like Healthy Decadence!
Rachel Ray!! she’s so adorable!
Giada is the best!
Cook Yourself Thin was one of my favs but I don’t know if they’re continuing it or not. They had some good stuff
I love Take Home Chef and Americas Test Kitchen
I love the Top Chef
Rachel Ray. I love watching the celebs cook!
I can’t choose between two – Chef at Home and Top Chef!
I love everything on Food Network, but I guess my favorite would have to be Healthy Decadence.
Oooh, I’m a big Top Chef fan!
Anything with Curtis stone or Jamie Oliver
Top Chef and/or Giada’s show!
Good Eats is my favorite – love Alton Brown.
Bobby Flay is a favorite of mine–he recently visited my Aunts former restaurant–The Loveless–he challenged the lady that makes the biscuits to a bake off between his and her biscuits! They showed The Loveless Peach and Blackberry preserves–my husband and I almost had to drive to Nashville as they looked so good and brought back memories of eating at The Loveless–and we live in Austin, Texas!
I’m a Rachael Ray fan – so 30 Minute Meals is one of my favorites!
Guy Fieri is without a doubt my favorite chef and Guy’s big bite is my favorite cooking show! Oh ya and how could anyone not love diners, drive-ins and dives! Love cooking shows! Food Network is ALWAYS on:}
French Food at Home with Laura Calder
Top chef on Bravo! Though I always seem to watch hours of Food Network too, so it’s a tough call.
Rachel Ray! I watch her talk show too
Does Angela @ Oh She Glows count?
Top Chef is my fav
I like Tyler Florence and Giada…I sure do miss being on maternity leave, I got to watch all of my favorite food network shows then!
Japanese iron chef!
I like Giada’s show or Barefoot Contessa!
I am a huge fan of Top chef… but also giada, I got to see her at a cooking expo last month and it was awesome!!
I love Good Eats and America’s Test Kitchen.
