Book Reviews of Letters to a Young Chef (Art of Mentoring)Book Review: Couldn't put it down! Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! I read it in a matter of hours. The information in the book is very accurate. It describes life in a fast paced culinary kitchen. It talks about different aspects and roles in the kitchen. I really enjoyed reading it. Some of what was in the book is what I'm currently studying in Culinary School. Some information will be discussed in later classes and from reading this book, I already know some of what we'll be discussing. For anyone in the Culinary Profession or in Culinary School, I would definitely suggest Letters To A Young Chef as a must read.
Book Review: Read this before going into the culinary field! Summary: 5 Stars
I being a foodie myself have always had dreams of going to culinary school and opening up my own place. It's supposed to be easy right? Of course it isn't, but I didn't get that clear picture in my head until I read this book. Daniel Boulud really describes his experiences and advice about this industry and it really can open up your eyes. I would suggest anyone to read this book if they even have some slight interest in professional cooking or even home cooking. It's a pretty fun read and I went through the book in one afternoon.
Book Review: These could have been written to my son. Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of my favorites of the year. My son, who is a chef in Hawaii - far away from me in Virginia - read this at the same time I did. He mentions something he learned from it almost every time we talk. It was so helpful to read the words of a master to a young, talented chef. It gave me a perspective as a parent as to how to support him in the coming years. The recipes were also great. The Chicken Grand-Mere Francine was delicious - a new edition to my repertoire!
Book Review: If you want to become a chef...... Summary: 5 Stars
Fascinating insight and advice to emerging chefs. Daniel Boulud, like his food and restaurants, is a brilliant artist. He is rooted in the French tradition but is equally eclectic, modern, and progressive. His insight and approach into the art of preparing and serving food is both mystical and practical.....I purchased this book for a friend who is contemplating becoming a chef. It is probably the best gift he will ever receive....
Book Review: If you want to go far in restaurant world, this is the book for you! Summary: 5 Stars
For those who seriously consider doing professional cooking, read this first before you enrol in culinary school or make decision to become a chef, this book will give you insider insight of what restaurant world is all about and help you to plan your next step.
