Chef's Apprentice: My Journey Through Hell's Kitchens, and Other Hilarious Stories
Author: David Hoffman
Have you ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes in those fancy French restaurants? Have you ever dreamed of becoming one of those great chefs you see on those PBS specials, or at least learning how to cook like one? Investigative Reporter David Hoffman takes you on a humorous, often hilarious, behind-the-scenes look at those fancy restaurants and the nutty chefs who run them. With no more experience than flipping through a tattered old copy of The Joy of Cooking, Hoffman bluffs his way into three San Francisco French restaurants—one of them four stars! What he discovers is intriguing, but definitely not for the faint-hearted!
