description: Melanie Dunea meets Heat in this award-winning photographer's stunning celebration of world-famous chefs and their final meals. Chefs have been playing the My Last Supper game among themselves for decades if not centuries but it had always been kept within the profession until now. Melanie Dunea came up with the ingenious idea to ask fifty of the world's famous chefs to let her in on this insider's game and tell her what their final meals would be. My Last Supper showcases their fascinating answers alongside stunning Vanity Fair -style portraits. Their responses are surprising refreshing and as distinct from each other as the chefs themselves. The portraits--gorgeous intimate and playful--are informed by their answers and reveal the passions and personalities of the most respected names in the business. Lastly one recipe from each landmark meal is included in the back of the book. With My Last Supper  Dunea found a way into the typically harried hidden minds of the people who have turned preparing food into an art. Who wouldn't want to know where Alain Ducasse would like his supper to be? And who would prepare Daniel Boulud's final meal? What would Anthony Bourdain's guest list look like? As the clock ticked what album would Gordon Ramsay be listening to? And just what would Mario Batali eat for the last time?
