An all access behind-the-scenes pass to one of the Food Network’s hit shows, including recipes, photos and trivia. The official companion book to the Food Network’s hit show Food Network Star takes fans through each season of the show’s long run, from the contestant drama to the zany food challenges to the recipes and Food Network stars created along the way.
Filled with kitchen-tested recipes from the show, accompanied by beautiful color photographs and behind-the-scenes photos, Food Network Star: The Official Insider's Guide to America's Hottest Food Show also includes cast biographies, Q&As, and fascinating trivia. Here, too are insights from celebrity judges Bob Tuschman, Susie Folgelson, Bobby Flay, and others, as well as stories from contestants such as Guy Fieri, Adam Gertler, Melissa D’Arabian, Tom Pizzica and Aarti Sequeira. Part fan-guide, part cookbook, Food Network Star: The Official Insider's Guide to America's Hottest Food Show is the perfect gift for a loyal fan who loves to cook.
I had ordered this book as a gift, but because it has a soft cover and was shipped in soft packaging, it arrived with the edges damaged, so I no longer feel comfortable giving it to a friend. I'm sure I will enjoy it myself, but I would very much have liked a clean, undamaged copy. I will probably not order another gift book from Food Network in the future.

Yes | No Report Violation »I was extremely disappointed that this "season" was not completed in the book; which I (and I'm sure many others) assumed would be in the book. You really should have offered a finalized product with this "season"'s winner included. We wouldn't have minded waiting another week or so to have a completed issue.

It was refreshing to see the photos and read updates of some of my favorite chefs. The quotes and tidbits from the the network's stars are fun to read and I will always remember Rachel Ray's advice to always keep smiling. Definitely a good purchase for anyone interested in the Food Network and the Food Network Star program. An excellent introduction by Bobby Flay highlights the book which includes an excellent index as well.

1 of 1 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »This book is filled with recipes from the past and present food network hopefuls and winners. There are exciting pictures of their challenges. Each section takes each season and breaks it down by contestants and winners. I only wish they had completed the last season but there is always next time. It is a great book to look at with your family. It shares all kinds of tips for the kitchen.

I watched it so didn't needed a recap-I wanted more of the recipies. I bought a second one for a friend that doesn't watch the show,but would love the dishes,but it was more about the show than the food. I would have loved it to be more the other way around. I'm an empty nester,so like to make fun things for the two of us & also all the guests we have.

Yes | No Report Violation »WIth all the advertising hype on the last few weeks of the show, and since it was not being released until the day after the results show, I expected more info about this season's cast. Instead there were only a few pages at the end and it was mostly about the prior seasons. Since the shows are obviously taped way in advance I found it somewhat misleading. That being said, it was fun to read, some interesting info and receipes.
1 of 1 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »It was advertised as a cookbook, but is largely self-agrandisement, with comparatively few recipes. They did not fulfill the purpose for which I bought two of them (gifts).
1 of 1 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »I must have misunderstood what the book was about. I was very disappointed that the final season had so little in the book. I was expecting more about that episode since the first I heard of the book was during this episode. It had so few pages and so few recipes of interest that it made me feel I miss informed. The price wasn't bad but I would have rather waited for a month to get the book and you to have added more about the last episode or offered a supplement to it. Next time I will read more carefully what I am buying.

I liked the color, the recipes and the behind-the-scenes interviews. One thing I wouldn't have objected if the book came out a little later, so that the full Season Seven results could have been included. That said, I enjoyed it a lot. I would like to see similar books about other series such as the Food Truck races, Iron Chef, and Chopped.

I am disappointed that I paid for two books, but only received one(1) "Signed Bookplate", when I should have received 2 (two). I did not realize it would be signed by the current and past two winners. I do wish that there were more recipes by this season's contestants; I am especially interested in the aiole that Vic used for his Lobster Roll, and also if Jeff has a recipe for one specific for Lobster/Crab.
