Don't Try This at Home: Culinary Catastrophes from the World's Greatest Chefs
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
From Gabrielle Hamilton on hiring a blind line cook to Michel Richard on rescuing a wrecked cake to Eric Ripert on being the clumsiest waiter in the room, these behind-the-scenes accounts are as wildly entertaining as they are revealing. With a great, new piece by Jamie Oliver, Don’t Try This at Home is a delicious reminder that even the chefs we most admire aren’t always perfect-and a hilarious musthave for anyone who’s ever burned dinner.
Finally in paperback, the hugely popular anthology in which forty of the world’s greatest chefs, including Anthony Bourdain, Daniel Boulud, and Ferrán Adrià, reveal their worst kitchen disasters.
