Excellent autobiography! Good read!
I enjoyed this book of Chef Keith very much! He narrates his experiences of becoming one from his younger years to the present. He goes through some challenging times. (which I’m sure were life lessons) but also some times of great achievement he attains through hard work, discipline and one I truly admired of “keeping the faith” through it all. If you want an honest depiction of the life of a chef, then this is a must read. Highly recommend!
