breakfast to go

the soul of a chef


wonderful book by michael ruhlman - three parts featuring the intensity of the chef's experience from different perspectives... i've already had to renew it from the library twice, and usually i throw books down in an afternoon or two. but this one, this one i want to savor. the romance, the intangibility of the whole dining experience.

fortunately he has a few more books to consume...




hell's kitchen

...yes it really is that difficult.

but whatever cooking school graduated that sara girl must have been like online or something.

heather has got it... the drive, the ego, the leadership... she's really the only one of the lot who i could actually see captaining a million dollar house. the editors cut out so much of the dinner services tho, it's hard to really pick out what the issue is, beyond just plain incompetence - not knowing how to cook a steak. not knowing what risotto is supposed to look like. calling it a game.
