Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page are co-authors of the bestselling books BECOMING A CHEF, which was honored with the 1996 James Beard Book Award for Best Writing on Food and is out in a newly-revised edition this fall celebrating the book's 100,000th copy in print; CULINARY ARTISTRY, which is frequently cited as the #1 favorite cookbook of leading chefs and culinarians; DINING OUT, which shares the secrets of America's leading restaurant critics and was a Finalist for both the 1999 James Beard and Julia Child Book Awards; and CHEF'S NIGHT OUT, which tells where 100 of America's top chefs like to eat on their nights off in 26 cities across the United States.

THE NEW AMERICAN CHEF has received rave reviews from leading chefs, being called "groundbreaking" by chef Michael Romano of Union Square Cafe in New York City and "glorious" by chef Charlie Trotter of Charlie Trotter's in Chicago, and is recommended as "10 cookbooks in one" in the December 2003 issue of BON APPETIT.
