Food for Thought

This series takes the reader through culinary journeys. The biography of the world’s first famous TV. Chef shows us how she changed our perception. The disguises needed by a food critic to camouflage her identity give us a glimpse not only of food service but also the fierce competition of the industry and of journalism.  Julia and Julie presents us with a very unique coming of age experience and a young woman’s struggle to find who she wants to be. The “behind the scenes” of The Wife of a Chef clearly illustrates that owning a restaurant is hard work, not glamour.  All of these titles provide us with insight into a profession that serves us all.
