Give Marcus Samuelsson for The Holidays

Screen-shot-2014-09-09-at-8.42.29-PM.pngLooking for a cookbook for the foodie on your gift list? I have the book for you. Marcus Samuelsson's new cookbook, Marcus Off Duty, is sure to delight. While you're sure to recognize Samuelsson from "Top Chef Masters" and "Chopped All Stars," he is also a five-time James Beard Award recipient and was selected as chef for the Obama Administration's first state dinner.

The recipes in Marcus Off Duty are a mix of the flavors that he has gathered together from his life and travels, from Ethiopia, Sweden, and the American South to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Italy. Of particular interest is the chapter on street foods from around the world. In this section Marcus pays tribute to his love affair with food made in carts, on docks, and in food trucks. The book is full of gorgeous photography and stories that everyone will love and the recipes will keep foodies of all levels busy and interested.
