‘Top Chef’ book -- a fan’s view

I would like to comment on the review of the “Top Chef” cookbook [ “In a Reality Show Gone Hardback — Who Wins?” by Betty Hallock, April 9]. I am a member of two very different gourmet dinner clubs, and both clubs bought the cookbook upon its release.

The recipes aren’t intended to inspire anyone who is a gourmet cook, obviously. But the recipes and articles are amusing and interesting to viewers of the show. I think a “Top Chef” fan should have reviewed the cookbook. My friends and I who watch the TV show had a very different take on the book.
