_The Devil in the Kitchen_, Marco Pierre White

It astonishes me whenever I come across an example of someone who behaves very, very badly and then writes of it unrepentantly. Mr. White herein admits to many instances of assault, harrassment, and verbal and physical abuse of employees and customers. He sees nothing wrong with any of it.

Also, he cooks.

That was my self-review of that book as well. Didn't like it.

For a book about a GOOD person who cooks, read Jacques Pepin's autobiography.

Yes.

Having read that book, I am an unabashed fan of the gentleman. Plus, his recipes are amazing.

Robin and I have tickets to an appearance of his later this year. :-)
