This timeless dish is reassuring and familiar, yet with the addition of a bit of truffle butter or salsa, it kicks into high gear with an unexpected burst of flavor. Now, for the first time in one collection such well-known chefs as Bobbie Flay, Charlie Palmer, Rick Bayless, and Katy Sparks share with us their favorite recipes, some from childhood, some from their restaurant menus.
