Perfect Presents for Mother's Day

My Last Supper
By Melanie Dunea
224 pages; Bloomsbury USA

The question that gets the attention of the most in-demand chefs: If you had only one night left to live, what would you have for dinner? The 50 seasoned cooks (including Ferran Adrià, Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain, and Lidia Bastianich) whose full-page portraits appear in My Last Supper (Bloomsbury) describe the menus, the settings, the background music, the guests—and even provide the recipes���for the ultimate meal (Scott Conant's is seared foie gras and green apple risotto) that would top off their glorious lives in the kitchen.
