review 1: Some bits feel forced and gratuitous ( esp. the cartoon of a silly story Leibowitz described in too much detail just a page earlier), but overall it's one of the most insightful books on cooking, running a food business and San Francisco in the first two decades of 21st century.As per recipes, there are not many but some real gems in there, worth reading for Anthony's refreshing no bullshit approach. You won't find any of the annoying 'oh, it's so easy, just skip this step' crap that hip and not so hip UK celebrity chefs like so much. He's a proper tiger mother of a cook...
review 2: The first portion of the book is basically an autobiography. It's a great description of the creation of the food concepts. The second portion describes the author's philosophy o... moren the preparation of food with some recipes interspersed. This section is incredibly useful with basic knowledge and tips. The last portion is an odd piece about how to get yourself going in the food industry. Overall, the book is a great read. I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes.... less
