Hot kitchens. A memoir of ambition, belonging, and coming-of-age in America's premiere culinary school.\"Her fast-moving coming-of-age memoir will appeal to anyone who?s been curious about culinary school.\"--Eater\"What truly makes Salt, Sweat \u0026amp; Steam exceptional is that it is told from the point of view of a young, female, Trinidadian student. It is a fascinating narrative that is a welcome addition to the list of coming-of-age tales.\"--Jessica B. Harris, Ph.D. Professor emeritus Queens College\/CUNY, Lecturer, culinary historian, and author of High on the HogRich with detail, Salt, Sweat \u0026amp; Steam takes readers inside America's top culinary school and shows what's really required to become a chef: from brutal unpaid internships and gruelling practical exams to late-night vending machine dorm-room dinners while trudging through the rarefied world of fine wine. As editor of the school's newspaper, \"La Papillote\" Washington, a Trinidadian, meets and interviews food-world luminaries such as Jerome Bocuse, Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller and savors the joys of a life devoted to food. She puts us all in her kitchen clogs as she finally achieves the perfect mise-en-place both in and out of the dignified kitchen of The Culinary Institute of America.Unwilling to accept a future that was anything but delicious, readers follow along Washington's high-octane journey through the rigors and rewards of the country?s most elite cooking school.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52178007064864,"sku":"NEW1250333377","price":29.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91h93bMBQ9L.jpg?v=1786483276","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/salt-sweat-steam-the-fiery-education-of-an-accidental-chef-1250333377","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
