Viking Range executive chef Grant MacPherson, whose cookbook In the Viking Kitchen beautifully celebrated the alchemy of food and equipment, returns with a robust new cookbook, Word of Mouth, distinctively designed and loaded with ambitious-yet-approachable recipes for the steely home chef.

Loaded with stories, images (by Bill Milne) and impressions from MacPherson and fellow chefs, Word of Mouth tells the story of one chef's rise and education through kitchens the world over. The recipes reflect this journey, including such mouth-watering dishes as Whole Snapper, "Cantonese-Style"; Maine Lobster Truffle Burger; Grey Goose-Pacific Salmon; and Singapore Chili Crab.
