Book Reviews of The Reach of a Chef: Beyond the Kitchen
Book Review: Ruhlman Does It Again
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read everything Ruhlman has authored about Chefs, Kitchens, etc. and this book is definitely "up there"... a good read. I liked The Making Of A Chef as my first choice. Then, The Reach Of A Chef. I know this book was a followup to The Soul Of A Chef, and having read them in order I admit you can't fully appreciate THE REACH OF A CHEF unless you do so... but as an enjoyable read this one is definitely my number two choice. I hope more are to come from this author. Who is this author? Watch the TV show, The Next Iron Chef!
Summary of The Reach of a Chef: Beyond the Kitchen
The author of The Soul of a Chef looks at the new role of the chef in contemporary cultureFor his previous explorations into the restaurant kitchen and the men and women who call it home, Michael Ruhlman has been described by Anthony Bourdain as "the greatest living writer on the subject of chefs-and on the business of preparing food." In The Reach of a Chef, Ruhlman examines the profound shift in American culture that has raised restaurant cooking to the level of performance art and the status of the chef to celebrity CEO. Bibliophiles and foodies alike will savor this intimate meeting with some of the most famous chefs in the kitchens of the hottest restaurants in the world.
