It s a fresh ride. --"New York Times" With"somethingtofoodabout"," "Quest (aka Philadelphia's Ahmir Thompson) dives head first into the topics that get chefs talking: What is creativity? How are art and food related? What does the future hold for food and cooking? Questlove sits down with some of the most exceptional chefs in America, including Daniel Humm (Eleven Madison Park), Dominique Crenn (Atelier Crenn), Michael Solomonov (Zahav), and Daniel Patterson (Coi). Questlove himself plays an equal part in getting the answers, providing examples and references to his own life as a musician and creator as he talks with food luminariesabout the thorny questions surrounding creativity. --"Eater" " Somethingtofoodabout"is really a passion project. For Questlove, it s not about the food business, but rather the ideas, the concepts, and the imaginations behind the chefs who feed him. There are no recipes and no how-tos. For Questlove, the only how-to you need to know is how to appreciate and understand the taste, the process, and the journey of the idea. --"Vogue" An enjoyable, frequently surprising exploration of creativity. --"Kirkus Reviews""
