Heat : an amateur's adventures as kitchen slave, line cook, pasta-maker, and apprentice to a Dante-quoting butcher in Tuscany by Bill Buford.


If you thought you knew anything about cooking, you will find this book a real eye-opener - as well as a fabulous read! Bill Buford takes us into the real Hell's Kitchens with a insider's insight into a life about which I now realize I knew nothing! - no idea about the amount or extent of the work involved in bringing a meal to my table - no idea of what Italian cooking is all about. A page-turner.
