The renowned chef behind New York City's Le Bernardin restaurant, Eric Ripert has won several prestigious awards, hosts an Emmy-winning cooking show, and is regarded as one of the world's greatest living chefs. But you don't have to know any of that to be utterly enchanted by his vivid and candid coming-of-age memoir. From his lonely, troubled childhood in the south of France to the cutthroat kitchens of Paris's elite restaurants, Ripert's culinary journey is frequently heartbreaking, sometimes comical, and always fascinating. It's required reading for foodies and chefs, yes, but really anyone who eats will devour this poignant and inspiring true tale!
