Well, thank God! Someone has finally done it. A book, a bible, a life’s journal shared by a real chef in today’s modern kitchen. Oh cer- tainly I, as most of you, have read volumes on the subjects of man- agement, team building, communication, and other aspects of managing our environment and teaching others under our jurisdiction to be great at their daily tasks. However, in my thirty years as a chef and culinary CEO, never have I seen a book on this subject written by an executive chef about the realities and challenges facing us in our day-to-day activities.
