An honest account of life behind the scenes in the culinary world and the trials and tribulations of being different. Crenn was so fortunate to be adopted by loving people who gave her the best experience a child could have with a loving family and freedom to follow her dream.

I have followed the career of Dominique Crenn since she arrived in San Francisco in 1990, so when I saw she had written a memoir, I was eager to read it.

I appreciated her authenticity in sharing her origins in a French orphanage, her childhood as a beloved adopted daughter, and her personal development in pursuing her career as a chef and ultimately a restaurateur.

Her life was never a simple follow the dots style but a leaping, foraging, self education zig zag that thankfully for us all she didn't abandon when it got sticky. She blazed into the world on male school taught chefs as a woman, a woman who learned through living and doing. She learned well, and has Michelin stars to prove it.
There isn't a lot of talk of specific recipes but she did mention a few tasty sounding dishes I will be trying, like Shiso sorbet. I just happen to have a large crop of shiso leaves this summer :D… (meer)
