Sous Chef: 24 Hours on the Line
by Michael Gibney
this book is what it says, which is 24 hours in the life of a sous chef - it described enough to share with me that i'm not cut out for it!
recently, i've seen an article do the rounds about how when someone shares what they do for a living, you should respond with, "wow, that sounds hard," to show empathy and learn more. well, after reading this book, you'll possess a greater understanding for what those in restaurant food service go through on a day-to-day basis. it's a tough job in terms of hours, stress and more, and has its rewards as well.
gibney has a very readable style and some of his food descriptions feel authentic and truly evoke the senses. if you ever wanted to know how the back end of a kitchen operates, pick it up!
