Editor Rot Finamore’s copy. As the title clearly states, this book was written by the wife of a chef and documents the couple's quest to open and run their own restaurant in a small town in Connecticut. If you are interested in starting your own restaurant, this book may well cure you of that ambition. It is a first-hand account of how much work, money and time goes into running a restaurant. It makes for fascinating reading but it doesn't make me want to do this for a living. The author has a easy to read and amusing writing style and you'll enjoy finding out what it is really like behind the scenes of a restaurant. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Wife of the Chef is at once a no-holds-barred memoir of restaurant life and a revealing look at married life. For Courtney Febbroriello, the two are intertwined. She and her husband own an American bistro in Connecticut. He's the chef, so naturally he gets all the credit. She has the role of keeping things running, but she's the wife, so she remains anonymous or invisible or both. Febbroriello comes front and center here, detailing the everyday challenges she faces--taking over dish-washing duty, bailing waiters out of jail, untangling the immigration laws, cajoling lazy suppliers, handling unreasonable customers, and a host of other emergency duties. She pokes fun at people who take food and wine--and the chef--too seriously, with witty comments on everything from "chef envy" to the much-ballyhooed James Beard Awards. Spiced with a healthy spoonful of feminism and enriched with a cup of humor, Wife of the Chef is the tastiest "dish" of the season. "From the Hardcover edition."
