Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “One less star if you don't cook. Also, I started this out thinking that it was going to be another Kitchen Confidential expose of restaurant life, and so I was disappointed at first but it really a book about food. Once you get that, if you really enjoy food, it is a great read.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Lots of interesting stories about this guy's time as a line cook and other roles in the high-end food-creation process, but kind of disjointed so I often had no idea who he was talking about. Would have benefited from a cast of characters--every Italian name sounds the same to me.”

“Makes me not want to work for Mario Batali. Pretty interesting for a foodie like me.

“I liked this book a great deal, however I felt that it started to sag once they left the fast paced kitchen of Batali's Babbo and ended up in rural Italy. I liked the first 2/3 because it gave me a further taste of the high speed tempo of a high end NYC restaurant kitchen that I got from Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential".”
