"The first-ever comprehensive and authentic exploration of originality in contemporary cuisine. A Wealth of Insight is a true world atlas of creativity and innovation of the 21st century kitchen."--From the Foreword by Chef Ferran Adrià of elBulli 1846 and elBulli Foundation, Five-time Winner of the World's Best Restaurant

A Wealth of Insight: The World's Best Chefs on Creativity, Leadership and Perfection profiles nearly 45 of the world's best chefs who have collectively amassed nearly 100 Michelin stars, and who regularly appear atop the World's 50 Best Restaurants, La Liste, James Beard and other international rankings and awards.

In addition, for those eager to learn how these five-star chefs began their journey to the top and maintain their prime position, this book also dives into their childhood memories, early experiences, culinary philosophy, how best to lead and manage a world-class restaurant, the future of food and their advice to young and aspiring chefs.
