emilyjackson 's review for:
Sous Chef: 24 Hours on the Line
by Michael Gibney
I am a total food nerd. I love eating, cooking, reading about eating and cooking, going out to eat, talking about food, writing about food (mostly Yelp reviews) and even grocery shopping. I always think it might be fun to work in a restaurant or start a business someday. This book made me realize I am probably in no way cut out for that lifestyle. The way the book is written takes you through 24 hours in the life of a sous chef in a fine dining restaurant. This seems to be work you have to be passionate about and live for to do. It made me appreciate all the work that goes into making one plate of food and how many people are involved in the process. Sous chefs work long, long hours and do a lot of the grunt work in the kitchen. This book really gave me a great respect for that profession. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I listened to the audiobook and the last 45 minutes is just a listing of food terms and definitions, which I did not finish listening to.
