Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A hold-your-breath-while-you-turn-the-page thriller that’s also an anthropological study of the culture of cooking.” —Anthony Bourdain
“A lively blend of reportage, reflection, and recipes…Ruhlman’s writing makes it come alive.” —Los Angeles Times
“[The Soul of a Chef] has all the makings of a summer potboiler: suspense, intrigue, drama, pathos, and even a little humor.” —Detroit Free Press
“A fine introduction to Ruhlman's writing.” —Publishers Weekly
“Each section of the book is fascinating in itself, especially the introductory section on the Certified Master Chef exam, an ordeal of almost hellish intensity.” —Library Journal
“Following on his previous intimate look into the lives of students and teachers at the Culinary Institute of America, Ruhlman now examines those driven individuals who aspire to culinary perfection…Ruhlman has favorites among these ambitious kitchen monarchs, but that doesn’t detract from his ability to make the reader feel each slip of the knife, each lapse in reproducing a dish exactly as the legendary Escoffier would have presented it.” —Booklist
