Iron Chef: The Official Book

This official companion to the television cooking competition takes readers into the studio known as Kitchen Stadium. It introduces the show's chefs, including Morimoto and Chen Kenichi, and gathers comments from the people who judged the dishes. The producers and creators explain how the program came together, and the book is illustrated with many photographs. Its main section breaks down individual battles dish by dish, describing the ingredients, the approach taken and the verdict. Written for fans who want more than the broadcast gave them, it offers a close look at how each contest was planned and judged.
