Questlove's Culinary Curiosity: A Deep Dive into "Something to Food About"

I stumbled upon Something to Food About during the 2016 holiday season while searching for a gift. Initially unfamiliar with Questlove beyond his musical career with The Roots and his role on The Tonight Show, I was intrigued to discover his passion for food.

Questlove's journey into the culinary world was unconventional. His catering business, Quest Loves Food, evolved into exclusive food salons hosted at his penthouse. These gatherings brought together renowned chefs from around the globe, inspiring his third book.

In Something to Food About, Questlove delves into the creative minds of celebrated chefs. Through insightful conversations, he explores their unique perspectives on cooking, the world, and the art of creativity.

Key Chefs Featured in the Book:

• Nathan Myhrvold: Principal author of Modernist Cuisine

• Daniel Humm: Chef/co-owner of Eleven Madison Park and NoMad

• Michael Solomonov: Chef & restaurateur known for Zahav

• Ludo Lefebvre: French chef, restaurateur, and television personality

• Dave Beran: Owner of Dialogue, a fine-dining restaurant in LA

• Dominique Crenn: French chef & owner of Atelier Crenn

• Daniel Patterson: American chef, restaurateur, and food writer

Questlove's approach is refreshing and thought-provoking. By exploring the chefs' creative processes, he offers a unique perspective on the intersection of food and art.
