Excellent Book

I enjoyed this book a great deal. I read this as I was just starting in culinary school. The book gave insight from the very chef's that we all know and love. Very inspiring!!!

Very interesting and an easy read

It's no secret to my family and friends that I've always wanted to be a chef. Well, not always...but certainly for the last 10 years or so. I love to cook and do it all the time. So the subject matter of this book--how chefs decided to be chefs--was very intriguing to me. All of the stories are interesting. Some are surprising. And the book is one of those that can be picked up and read casually if you want, because the 27 stories are easily read one at a time. And you can skip around as much as you want. I love the format. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in cooking.
