Guardian Bookshop Notes:

In the tradition of Orwell's "Down & Out In Paris & London" and Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential", this is a brilliant book about working in the kitchen of one of New York's most fashionable restaurants and with one of its most charismatic chefs. This book is guaranteed huge attention as Buford is such a high-profile media figure.

Publisher's description:

Bill Buford was an enthusiastic home cook. His meals were characterized by two qualities: their ambition and his inexperience at preparing them. Nevertheless, his lifelong regret was that he'd never worked in a professional kitchen. This is the story of this cook surviving - or, perhaps trying to survive - in a professional kitchen.
