Preview How I Learned To Cook: Culinary Educations from the World's Greatest Chefs
"Foodie/chef groupies . . . who are more star-struck by the likes of Jacques Pepin than George Clooney, could easily devour this book in a single marathon reading session. But How I Learned to Cook is best savored in small bites—an essay here, a couple of essays there—to allow the page-by-page feast to linger a little longer." —San Diego Union-Tribune "How I Learned to Cook reassures us that the path to culinary fame is sometimes paved with kitchen fires, exploding fava beans, and unecstatic cherries jubilee." —Vogue "A collection of savvy, savory essays by 40 of the world's best chefs and food writers . . . who share their early triumphs, travails, and innovations as up-and- comers before they ascended to culinary stardom." —Elle "Entertaining and inspiring. The chapter by Chicago's own Rick Bayless alone is worth the book's price." —Chicago Sun-Times "A satisfying follow-up to Don't Try This at Home . . . This is not just a book for culinary school students or aspiring professionals—the inspiration in these chefs' tales works for the weekend cook as well . . . From cooking under the master French chef Paul Bocuse (Daniel Boulud) to deep-frying at the snack bar of the local swim club (Tom Colicchio)—cooks of every ability level will recognize the one constant throughout: passion for good food." —Book Page "Forty chefs representing notable restaurants all over the world offer a bit of humorous history on how they cut their teeth in the kitchen . . . the stories are entertaining and well chosen." —Publishers Weekly HOW I LEARNED TO COOK HOW I LEARNED TO COOK Culinary Educations from the World's Greatest Chefs Edited by Kimberly Witherspoon and Peter Meehan BLOOMSBURY Copyright © 2006 by Inkwell Management All rights reserved.
