Item Description

He's an extraordinarily talented chef, a big supporter of anti-hunger campaigns for children and pretty darn sexy to boot. Why has it taken him so long to jump on the cookbook train, I don't know. But so glad he finally did. A fabulous book to read as well as cook from. So take the leap yourself - promise you won't be chopped!

Over 130 comfort food classics revisited by Chopped judge and one of New York's favorite chefs

Marc Murphy has been cooking in the finest kitchens in the world for nearly 30 years. Now, the chef and owner of four popular New York City restaurants, and regular judge on Food Network’s top-rated show Chopped, has finally written his first cookbook. In Season with Authority, Murphy’s dishes are without pretense and the recipes are perfect for the home cook. Murphy presents his favorite recipes using simple methods that produce extraordinary results. There are comfort foods such as Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Smoked Mozzarella and Ricotta Fritters, and Pain Perdu, along with best-ever versions of familiar dishes like the “Everything Bagel” Cured Salmon with Dill Slaw, Deviled Eggs with Fried Oysters, and his award-winning Big Marc Burger. Murphy also includes recipes for staples that elevate cooking to the next level, like Sherry Shallot Vinaigrette, Homemade Ricotta, and Pesto Genovese.

MARC MURPHY serves as Chef and Owner of Benchmarc Restaurants (Landmarc and Ditch Plains). He is a judge on Food Network’s Chopped, a board member of City Harvest, and a member of the Leadership Council for Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.
