Library Journal

Trotter's PBS series the "Kitchen Sessions" was inspired by the idea of jazz improvisation, specifically the Workin' albums from the Miles Davis Quintet. This new companion volume (the first was published in 1999) offers more culinary riffs on favorite ingredients, from artichokes to tomatoes, with a separate dessert chapter. Each section includes five recipes, and while the dishes in the earlier book were somewhat less complicated than those in the prolific chef's numerous other cookbooks, these are quite involved, with many steps and separate components, e.g., Roasted Duck with Prosciutto-Wrapped Fennel Bulb and Balsamic-Cherry Reduction. There are snapshots throughout of Trotter in the kitchen (usually looking intense or worried) as well as full-page color photographs of the dishes. For collections where his other books are popular.
