No Experience Necessary: The Culinary Odyssey of… par Norman Van Aken

I love reading of adventures in the world of chef's, their path to where they are now. This was an adventure, he had a wild and sometimes crazy path to success. Unfortunately, it was also riddled with many rambling stories that really had little to do with his career path. I did enjoy the story, it just needed some trimming. I found the ending rough, well it just stopped so I expect to see book two following soon.
If you like to read about people who came up from the bottom this is a good book. It has some real raw moments, some funny light ones, and a few that should have been dropped.… (plus d'informations)

No Experience Necessary par Norman Van Aken

I received this book for free from Early Giveaway. What a great read! I've read quite a few of cooking memoirs and this one was very interesting. I loved the recipes at the end of each chapter and saved a few to try.

No Experience Necessary: The Culinary Odyssey of… par Norman Van Aken

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

A very decent read, but, frankly, I felt like it was written for chefs and others in the restaurant industry, and not for those outside of it. Van Aken is very good with words, but I wasn't drawn into this book, and I don't think I would suggest it to others.
