Atlanta Chef's Table: Extraordinary Recipes from the Big Peach Hardcover – February 7, 2015

I'm generally not a fan of traditional cookbooks as you can find virtually any recipe online and they take up a lot of space in the kitchen cabinets. Kate's book though is a different story and occupies a prominent place in my kitchen. She has assembled a collection of recipes for the quintessential dishes at some of Atlanta's top restaurants. I've enjoyed these dishes many times in the restaurants, so it's wonderful to be able to practice making them at home! On top of that, Kate includes wonderful narrative on the restaurants and their chefs. Even if you have no interest in cooking, this book is an excellent read just to learn more about the great restaurateurs of Atlanta.

I was searching for a gift for my daughter who is moving back to the Atlanta area after having been away for several years. I found just the perfect item in Kate Kordsmeier’s book “Atlanta Chef’s Table.” This is the kind of book you like to sit out on the porch to read, pen in hand, so you can take notes of where you want to dine or what dish will be the main focus at your next dinner party. I particularly enjoyed reading the behind the scene stories of how some of our favorite restaurants had their beginnings. Thanks Ms. Kordsmeier for putting together such a beautiful gift and sharing it with all of us!

My husband loves to cook and was so excited to get this book. We've tried a few of the places in this book and he is looking forward to trying their recipes and others. If we like the recipes from the book, we will definitely be interest in going to try other items on these restaurants menus.

The benefits of this book are two fold - It allows you to get to know the wonderful chefs and restaurants in your city and allows you the ability to create their dishes right in your own home! There is a recipe for every level of home chef and you'll love taking an intimate look into your local eateries. This book is perfect for a new comer to the city and one who has lived here for years.

Great book for foodies who not only love new recipes but also like to have a little knowledge about the history of Atlanta's best restaurants. For me it was also nice to know the owner and chef at each restaurant. This book makes a great gift for friends or business associates because it's unique and looks great on a coffee or side table. I've given several to clients and they love it.

Wonderful book and I love the photography as well. I am just beginning to venture out of my comfort zone as a cook and it's wonderful to be able to try the recipes for meals I've actually enjoyed in restaurants here in Atlanta. I have thoroughly enjoyed the dishes I have prepared from this delightful book. Thank you Kate and can't wait for your next project.

This book is a nice resource for the culinary happenings in Atlanta. However, I am disappointed that the recipes do not include garnishing & plating instructions to match the beautiful photos.

Not only does it provide some great recipes, but also gives a great overview of some of the best restaurants/chefs in the ATL. As a newcomer to the area, I highly recommend this book!
