Books about chefs/restaurants |
|
Hello -
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good books about chefs or restaurants.
I'm not looking for cookbooks, but rather biographies or other non-fiction books about what its like to be a chef or work in a restaurant. I recently read "The Making of a Chef" and "The Soul of a Chef" (both by Michael Ruhlman) as well as a book called "The Fourth Star" and enjoyed all of them...so I was looking for something similar.
I haven't read "Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly" by Anthony Bourdain - because I think I'm more interested in reading about the more positive aspects of this sort of work...so if anyone has any suggestions, I would be most grateful.
Thanks -
Tim
