This is a cookbook based from David Chang's hit New York restaurants, mostly Asian. I got it from the library hoping it would make Asian cooking more accessible to me at home. Alas, I found only one recipe that looked doable to me at home. Most of the recipes are either fiddly and time-consuming or call for special equipment or ingredients that I can't get easily. This is why when we go out to eat, it's almost always Asian—I love the food but it's not really my preferred cooking style.
The other component of this book is the story of Chang's rise to success, and the restaurants he's opened. While the story was mildly interesting, I found the use of excessive profanity quite off-putting. While there's no question that he's creative and a hard worker, I don't think I'd actually want to meet him.
All in all, I was a bit disappointed after everything I've heard about this book.
