Synopsis
In this light-hearted memoir, acclaimed chef and food writer Jacques Pépin writes about his start in the food business, beginning as a 13-year-old apprentice. Before he was 23, he had cooked in a brasserie where Sartre was a regular, held a position as DeGaulle's cook, and traveled to America--where his career really took off. Pépin's story, it turns out, is very much a story of America and its appetites. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Industry Reviews
"Prose as joyful and rich as the author's food."
Kirkus Reviews (02/15/2003)
"[A] delicious book. Pépin's tale is of a meteoric rise accomplished by a maniacally hard worker moving at a frenetic pace....[I]t is passion rather than ambition that carries Pépin's story forward....[F]ew relationships go sour in this savory book. Put simply, Pépin has a big heart...."
New York Times Book Review - Stacy Schiff (05/04/2003)
