So I got this book.... I like it. I heard it was being worked on long before Keith was supposed to be on Survivor. It looks that way. I see no refrence to Survivor in the book, just good world food from the restaurants that he has been a part of. The photography is awsome. I would buy this book if you want to see what this guy is really like...about 60 recipes. This book should cost $45 by the looks of the production...they probably put the price tag on before he hit SURVIVOR

Try making the "trout in a bag" or the "Michigan stuffed morels with smoked whitefish mousse"

We Detroiters knew Famie before this whole "Survivor" thing, and we knew how great he was at making dishes that are works of art and speak of his passion. This book takes us through his entire career, with recipes from his years at Les Auteurs and the Durgano Grill (I miss that place ...), as well as what he discovered from his trips around the world. The photography is excellent, the descriptions and directions are easy to understand, and the whole book is a loving tribute to a man and his craft. For anyone who doubted his skills at cooking that certain Outback survival dish (hint: it's a four-letter word), this collection will prove you wrong. I can only hope Keith opens another restaurant in Detroit again. Bravo!

This cookbook is arranged great! The recipes are really gourmet,but easy enough for the novice. Plus I have enjoyed reading about all the restaurants he has worked in or owned.My collection cookbooks is in the hundreds, but I think this one of the very best!!!

This is a well made and nicely illustrated cookbook, but the few recipes offered are simplistic, and to a large degree, Americanized versions of their native originals. Additionally, there is little here in the way of originality or creativity. I don't know of a single recipe that can't be found in numerous other books. If you are looking for a book with a variety of recipes from different countries that are tame enough for American tastes and simple enough for unskilled cooks, this would be a good book. The more adventurous would be advised to look elsewhere for inspiration.

This is a great book of creativitey. I reccomend this book to all creative cookers, like myselF. This adds to my great collection of cookbooks.

I loves this book. I learned about it on survivor. It had all kinds of wierd stuff you never would want to eat, but the recipes are really good.
