5.0 out of 5 stars Survivor guy cooks other things than rice, March 15, 2001

By A Customer

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"

5.0 out of 5 stars Detroit's cuisinier does good, May 15, 2001

By	D. Levy (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
