      Ha, the winner of the third season of MasterChef (a competitive cooking show on the FOX network), memorably defeated 99 other contestants despite having lost her sight in her 20s. In this book, to which Gordon Ramsay contributed a foreword, she chronicles her culinary journey from clueless college student to confident cook and shares recipes with which she feels a personal connection. Easy crowd-pleasers such as classic bruschetta and double-fried fries appear alongside wilder offerings like symphonic sashimi and sweetbread nuggets with bok choy. VERDICT Ha is an inspiring personality, but her debut feels overproduced, in large part owing to harshly lit, hypersaturated photographs. Still, expect demand from MasterChef fans.
