Kitchen Confidential

Name: Kitchen Confidential
Author: Carrie Brownstein )

by Carrie Brownstein )

You could argue that this book was the real moment of ‘the chef’ as we know it today. I think before this came out, chefs were simply cooks hidden in the basement. This book sparked a new appetite for understanding how, and by whom, our food is prepared. This book (along with Marco Pierre’s White Heat ) is one of the two books that propelled professional cooking into the pop culture phenomenon that it is today.
