At some point, every single one you reading this has seen an episode of some sort of culinary television featuring at least one celebrity chef. They show you how to cook everything from scratch pasta to an entire family meal in less than thirty minutes… but can they really be doing these things at home, all the time? Taschen, publisher of some of our favorite books ever, sent photographer Carrie Solomon and author Adrian Moore out to find out what, exactly, was in the fridges of 40 of Europe’s top chefs. Along with the condiments, accoutrements, herbs and snacks you’ll find in their fridges, each chef also contributed two of their favorite home recipes. It might surprise you what you’ll find in the fridges of a collection of chefs with nearly 60 Michelin stars between them.
