Book excerpt: Great, Grand & Famous Chefs and their Signature Dishes is a study of the development of haute cuisine and the rise of the chef-patron, from Marie-Antoine Careme (the first celebrity chef, known as 'the king of chefs and the chef of kings') to superstar chefs of today such as Gordon Ramsay and Australia's own Tetsuya Wakuda. The included recipes - one for each chef - enable the reader to get a taste of the signature dishes of the world's greatest chefs.
