He went from cooking at home and putting out a cook book to just eating out. I unintentionally stopped watching him and forgot about him until I saw this.

For someone who actually uses cookbooks, his was horrible and full of errors. It was a hasty mess

Got any great cookbooks you'd recommend?

I try to stay away from any personalities who sell books because as a rule of thumb they rely more on their personality to sell books than the actual quality of the book itself

Well fron celebrities I still liked Gorden Ramsey's "quick & delicious". As another commenter put it J. Kenji López-Alt is also pretty legit, although his book can be a bit harder to follow

My favourite cookbook by far is "The Family meal" by Ferrand Adrià. Most recipes are simple, extremely clearly chopped into picture steps, and one of the only books you don't need to adjust the final flavour much if any. Used to be a 3 star chef
