Editorial Reviews

"Wherever I travel, be it a different state, country, or continent, I always call Phil when I need to know where and what to eat. He's the food guru of the world. You can have that same information, folks! I can't give you his phone number, but this book is just as good. It's probably better, because when he's on the phone he never shuts up."
-Ray Romano

"Somebody Feed Phil the Book is the best thing since sliced bread . . . baked on the outskirts of Porto."
-Yotam Ottolenghi

"What could be more delightful than watching Phil travel and eat around the world? Trying the amazing meals ourselves, of course. I can't wait to dive in."
-Gwyneth Paltrow

"I've been lucky enough to dine with Phil Rosenthal, and the man has great taste-he's a true enthusiast and culinary adventurer. And now his favorite global recipes are in one cookbook? Sign me up."
-Norman Lear

"Somebody Feed Phil the Book is an exploration into the spectacular culinary journey of the show. The only thing better than traveling with Phil is getting fed like Phil, and now you can do both!"
-Michael Solomonov

"Somebody Feed Phil the Book captures everything wonderful about food and travel, showcasing not only the work of high-end chefs but also the food of the people. I can't wait to try the recipes that brought the author so much joy."
-Jane Fonda

"Somehow, the enthusiasm my friend Phil Rosenthal has for food-and he has an extravagant level of enthusiasm-comes through in his terrific new book, Somebody Feed Phil the Book. That's not easy to accomplish, but he does it. And the beauty of Phil's delight about restaurants and food is that as enthusiastic as he gets, he never exaggerates. If he says something is downright incredible, it's gonna be downright incredible. And this book, well, it's downright incredible."
-Nancy Silverton

"This book should come with a warning label: Do Not Read on an Empty Stomach. Phil Rosenthal's enthusiasm for great food is unmatched, and these recipes are showstoppers! I'd flag my favorites if it didn't mean a bookmark on every single page."
-Allison ...

I loved this book, read it in one afternoon/evening. The point of this book is certainly not the recipes, although I will attempt some of them. It’s the stories of people and places. Just like the show isn’t a cooking show, the book isn’t a cookbook. If you love the show, you’ll love the book. Highly recommend

Absolutely love the book and the amazing quality. So great to read the stories and be able to test recipes from my spouse and I's favorite show. Phil is amazing and brings a sense of community to his show and makes you feel invited into each culture and city he explores.

I just got my copy yesterday so I sat down and read about 50 pages immediately. In my mind, Phil was talking so I found myself smiling and laughing all over again. The recipes are approachable to any decent cook. Substitutions are offered if ingredients might prove problematic. Throughout, the photos are just glorious. My husband and I plan to watch all the series again from the beginning. Get the book, I promise you'll love it!

I love both of Phil’s travel shows, they make you feel apart of the fun while drooling as he enjoys everything he eats and this book is the same. It’s wonderful to read and the behind the scenes snip it’s and updates on the cooks are great, I can’t wait to try the fried pork chops recipe. If you love “I’ll have what Phil’s eating” and “Somebody feed Phil, you will really enjoy this book. Yes it’s a cookbook, but so much more. Bless you Phil, I’ll never be able to travel like you do, but you make me feel like I’m right there with you on every episode and now, I only have to cook.
