5/11/2023 0 Comments Yes, Chef by Marcus SamuelssonBut Samuelsson’s career of chasing flavors had only just begun-in the intervening years, there have been White House state dinners, career crises, reality show triumphs, and, most important, the opening of Red Rooster in Harlem. Yes, Chef chronicles Samuelsson’s journey, from his grandmother’s kitchen to his arrival in New York City, where his outsize talent and ambition finally come together at Aquavit, earning him a New York Times three-star rating at the age of twenty-four. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. It begins with a simple ritual: Every Saturday afternoon, a boy who loves to cook walks to his grandmother’s house and helps her prepare a roast chicken for dinner. “One of the great culinary stories of our time.”-Dwight Garner, The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY VOGUE.
