The Crazy Life of a Female Chef by Kim M. Eckerman Pdf

Are you a woman considering a career as a professional chef? Or maybe you are just curious about what life is really like behind the kitchen walls of a restaurant through the eyes of a female chef. This is the story of my cooking journey from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the coast of Cape Cod, then across country to Lake Tahoe and beyond. After graduating from The Culinary Institute of America and getting married, both in 1981, my husband and I moved westward. Throughout this book, you will gain insight into my life in more than twenty different restaurants, both large and small, short-lived and long. For a few years, I also taught professional cooking at both the high school and college level. Throughout the book, you will become enlightened to the many diffi culties, as well as, humorous day to day events that occurred in the many places I have worked. You may laugh, cry and get angry all in one chapter. Even though I am not a world renowned chef, I did achieve my highest goal, owning and operating my own restaurant. I owe my success to my sons’ and parents’ support, mentally, physically and fi nancially. I never would have survived if it wasn’t for them. Included in this book, are a few of my favorite recipes. Someday I hope to get my cookbooks published, too.

Confessions of a Potty-Mouthed Chef by Vickie van Dyke Pdf

Reading Vickie's book was like getting on a roller coaster, exciting and scary but in the end, sorry to have it pull into the station. She sure tells it like it is. Total honesty in all its raw, miserable, sweet, and touching moments. Her story and her truths are both sad and triumphant. A very brave acknowledgement of desires, mistakes and understanding. Buckle up - it's one helluva ride! Deborah Harbottle Is it a memoir or a cookbook? Maybe a bit of both. She has already cheated in the bedroom, hoping that finally finding the love of her life will make all of the ensuing torment worthwhile. But when Vickie's husband and her lover's wife find their own love, that torment escalates on every front. From agony to ecstasy to emotional annihilation, the author battles on through a mid-life she never anticipated, learning to cheat in the kitchen, get honest in the bedroom and pursue a truly authentic life. Told in her own uniquely honest voice, Vickie shares cheating recipes, life hacks, true-life confessions and jagged, gut-wrenching revelations with equal candor. There are no good guys or bad guys here; just one tortured soul trying to figure out life and relationships, all the while cooking up a storm the easy way. Does love win in the end? Is online dating the answer? Can marriages be saved? Is forgiveness possible? Does a true "love of your life" really exist? Can cheating ever be justified? These sincere, unreserved and often hilarious confessions of a potty-mouthed chef will enlighten on every front. And if cooking with celebrity chefs intimidates the heck out of you, the cheater recipes will delight both you and your diners. How To Cheat, Eat and Be Happy serves up a feast for your heart, your soul and your belly. Facebook vickie.van.dyke Twitter @vickievandyke Instagram @vickievandyke Blog winesoakedramblings.com

Apron Anxiety by Alyssa Shelasky Pdf

“Hot sex, looking good, scoring journalistic triumphs . . . nothing made Alyssa love herself enough until she learned to cook. There's a racy plot and a surprising moral in this intimate and delicious book.” --Gael Greene, creator of Insatiable-Critic.com and author of Insatiable: Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess Apron Anxiety is the hilarious and heartfelt memoir of quintessential city girl Alyssa Shelasky and her crazy, complicated love affair with...the kitchen. Three months into a relationship with her TV-chef crush, celebrity journalist Alyssa Shelasky left her highly social life in New York City to live with him in D.C. But what followed was no fairy tale: Chef hours are tough on a relationship. Surrounded by foodies yet unable to make a cup of tea, she was displaced and discouraged. Motivated at first by self-preservation rather than culinary passion, Shelasky embarked on a journey to master the kitchen, and she created the blog Apron Anxiety (ApronAnxiety.com) to share her stories. This is a memoir (with recipes) about learning to cook, the ups and downs of love, and entering the world of food full throttle. Readers will delight in her infectious voice as she dishes on everything from the sexy chef scene to the unexpected inner calm of tying on an apron.

The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn Pdf

"...engaging, intelligent, and surprisingly suspenseful." —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love The unforgettable New York Times best-selling journey of self-discovery and finding one's true calling in life Kathleen Flinn was a thirty-six-year-old middle manager trapped on the corporate ladder - until her boss eliminated her job. Instead of sulking, she took the opportunity to check out of the rat race for good - cashing in her savings, moving to Paris, and landing a spot at the venerable Le Cordon Blue cooking school. The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is the funny and inspiring account of her struggle in a stew of hot-tempered, chefs, competitive classmates, her own "wretchedly inadequate" French - and how she mastered the basics of French cuisine. Filled with rich, sensual details of her time in the kitchen - the ingredients, cooking techniques, wine, and more than two dozen recipes - and the vibrant sights and sounds of the markets, shops, and avenues of Paris, it is also a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and, ultimately, love.
