Following formal culinary training, Reilly honed his skills in the competitive cooking world, competing (and kicking butt) throughout the US and internationally. He was named the 2011 Chaine de Rôtisseurs \"Best Young Chef in the World\" Winner, 2019 American Culinary Federation's Chef of the Year, and 2022 Americas Global Chef's Challenge Winner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e After cooking his way through San Francisco and running his own bougie doughnut pop-up, he began private cheffing--and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at his work on social media. He spends summers in the Hamptons with his clients, but calls Phoenix home with his husband and pup. Reilly's mantra is simple: bring as much good food to as many great people as possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Reilly Meehan \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47808938803357,"sku":"9781454957881","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_b9703e5d-fa90-4ab0-ac10-1f62e4e031f9.jpg?v=1775555495","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/a-little-bit-extra-100-recipes-that-serve-up-something-special-9781454957881","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
