The Making of a Chef made me want to quit my job and go to cooking school (which in reality is not the best plan on earth given that I just had a baby a little over 4 months ago). Ruhlman does an excellent job in this book going into detail about what it is like to be a student at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). His food descriptions are mouth watering and his descriptions of the curriculum made the CIA sound like a good deal of hard work.

The details of a culinary education. Every page fascinated me. I wish, in part, that I had the money to quit my job and attend CIA. I'm now inspired to learn to cook - actually learn and not rely necessarily on recipes. This opened the door!

I thought this book did a great job of showing how intense being a student at the CIA is. The writer started out trying just to observe but quickly got caught up in the first skills class and decided he really wanted to be a real cook.

I love "behind the scenes" kind of books and this is a brilliant member of its class.
