🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
Yes, no wonder this is considered a classic.
It’s a biography but it’s not about him, it’s about the love of food, love of cooking, of his colleagues and kitchen, and as he says, it’s universal.
Kitchen is a heated place, I have worked briefly at a small restaurant so I had a tiny preview of the kitchen life.
It’s a difficult job and it’s all about working as a team, not a team, a military.
What your chef says is absolute, you only say “yes chef”.
Bourdain was such a loved character from TV shows, and it’s nice to read that it’s really how he was, foul mouth, brutally honest, caring guy.
Funny he mentions Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London, that I recently ready.
And this books is only second to that classic.
