Kitchen Confidential
There is at least one book that defines many. This is that one. Anthony wrote this many years ago and he really captures the idea that working in a kitchen is real work. its tough, its hard and if you want your boss to give you a kiss at the end of your shift it ain't happening. In fact he painted a workplace like any other, depressing, hard and in the end soul crushing.
But it didn't crush him he emerged stronger and better and a TV star. Don't get me wrong this is a great guy who is fun and inspirational but he does not do the business any favours.
The book is fun it looks at all of the ins and outs of the business of serving people food. In these times of celebrity chefs a book like this brings us all back to earth.
If you have ever liked watching the celebrity chefs mouth off then this is the book for you, it tells all from a point of knowing.
Most of all though the attitude of the writer is what sells the book, he does not care what people say or think he just acts as he sees fit.
Love the book love what he has done since.
Do yourself a favour and read this one.
