“When I first came across this book, I was skeptical of how literature about a cook would be interesting. I was happily proven wrong by each vivid description.
I thoroughly enjoyed the romanticization of cooking as a medium of art and passion, hearing of new dishes and of the creative process Mauro always seemed to be going through to make dishes with local and seasonal ingredients.
“Right away, cooking entails other people; it entails the presence of others within the cake like a genie in a lamp. Because the preparation of a dish immediately calls for a set table, another guest, language, emotions, and every theatrical element of a meal, from the presentation of a dish to the remarks it provokes — the digestive rumblings of guests with full mouths and wide-open eyes.”
A short book especially worthy of helping you get out of your latest reading slump.”

“Maylis de Kerangal’s prose is immersive, painting the chef’s world with such precision you can almost smell the kitchen. The third-person POV lends a documentary-like intimacy. That said, the lack of a driving plot left me craving more tension. A feast for the senses, but light on narrative stakes.”
