Don't Try This at Home: Culinary Catastrophes from the World's Greatest Chefs
Don't Try This at Home: Culinary Catastrophes from the World's Greatest Chefs | Andrew Friedman, Kimberly Witherspoon
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
From Gabrielle Hamilton on hiring a blind line cook to Michel Richard on rescuing a wrecked cake to Eric Ripert on being the clumsiest waiter in the room, these behind-the-scenes accounts are as wildly entertaining as they are revealing. With a great, new piece by Jamie Oliver, Don't Try This at Home is a delicious reminder that even the chefs we most admire aren't always perfect-and a hilarious musthave for anyone who's ever burned dinner.

Mehso-so

I had high hopes for this one--it's a collection of essays written by chefs about their mistakes in the kitchen. But (unsurprisingly, I suppose) it's a really uneven collection with some truly funny catastrophes and some that read more like thinly veiled humblebrags. A disappointing read.
