Wonderful if you live in NJ Briarcliff alum This book reviews some of New Jersey's finest restaurants and their chefs. I like that it included recipes though I never expect to try to cook these dishes myself. I wish the author had included the Tewksbury Inn in Oldwick NJ..

"Personable and entertaining, this book is a great read for anyone who loves Jersey's dining scene. Another plus, it's packed full of recipes from each of the featured chefs."
Celebrity Chefs of New Jersey peeks into the kitchens and the lives of some of the most famous chefs in the Garden State, where foodies and other gourmands will discover passions, kitchen secrets, life lessons, and signature recipes.Not so long ago, perhaps even just at the turn of this century, it was easy to lament the lack of sophisticated food in New Jersey. Politano includes photographs, cooking secrets, and some of their sought-after signature recipes that are sophisticated but manageable for the skilled home chef.. Oh sure, a few restaurants always sparkled, but, for the most part, New Jerseyans looked across at the bright lights of the big city, wistfully yearning for a table in glamorous Manhattan. Others were not only talented but lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. One was kissed by Fidel Castro, another played onstage with Todd Rundgren. Their stories are arranged into three categories: legends, stars, and chefs to watch, and then topped off with a sweet surprise finish. We can dine frequently and dine well, with a smug sense that if only New Yorkers knew, they'd be looking across the river wishi
