As he interweaves Batali's crazy life story with his own culinary odyssey working in macho kitchens, taking Italian apprenticeships, and following leading chefs, Buford provides an entertaining, self-depreciating memoir about getting his cooking chops and falling for the delicious magic of Italian food. Bill Buford is also the author of AMONG THE THUGS. A 2006 New York Times Notable Book. minimize
