Amy Rosen's new book TORONTO COOKS is definitely the most fun I've had on a project in recent memory.We shot with 48 of Toronto's top chefs in my studio over the course of one crazy week. It was an intense marathon shoot, but we couldn't be happier with the results.
"While always known for its vibrant and varied food scene, the city has experienced a culinary explosion of late and is quickly evolving into one of the world's greatest dining destinations. With chef-tested recipes beautifully complemented by Ryan Szulc's gorgeous and playful photographs, Toronto Cooks has everything you need to recreate your restaurant favourites at home."
