Synopsis
Shaving lamb's tongues, destroying everything from sea bass to duck during dinner rushes, and putting up with constant mockery were just the initial experiences of former New Yorker fiction editor Bill Buford during his long stint as a "kitchen slave" at Mario Batali's Babbo. 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.

      A LITTLE HEAT

    "Heat" carries the right amount of sarcastic wit and humor, and Buford is hilarious. A friend gave me the book to read and she thought it was probably an exaggeration, more than the truth,on what it is like to work in the kitchen of a 4 star restaurant. I seriously doubt it is. According to the author, New York City kitchens are quite small and cramped, and the chefs are eccentric and weird, at the best of times. Some spots in the book were a little difficult to get through, but over-all I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates great food and witty sarcasm.
