-Descripcion Original:

The inspiring and deeply personal memoir from highly acclaimed chef Dominique CrennBy the time Dominique Crenn decided to become a chef, at the age of twenty-one, she knew it was a near impossible dream in France where almost all restaurant kitchens were run by men. So, she left her home and everything she knew to move to San Francisco, where she would train under the legendary Jeremiah Tower. Almost thirty years later, Crenn was awarded three Michelin Stars in 2018 for her influential restaurant Atelier Crenn, and became the first female chef in the United States to receive this honor - no small feat for someone who hadn’t gone to culinary school or been formally trained. In Rebel Chef, Crenn tells of her untraditional coming-of-age as a chef, beginning with her childhood in Versailles where she was emboldened by her parents to be curious and independent. But there is another reason Crenn has always felt free to pursue her own unconventional course. Adopted as a toddler, she didnt resemble her parents or even look traditionally French. Growing up she often felt like an outsider, and was haunted by a past she knew nothing about. But after years of working to fill this blank space, Crenn has embraced the power her history gives her to be whoever she wants to be. Here is a disarmingly honest and revealing look at one womans evolution from a daring young chef to a respected activist. Reflecting on the years she spent working in the male-centric world of professional kitchens, Crenn tracks her career from struggling cook to running one of the world’s most acclaimed restaurants, while at the same time speaking out on restaurant culture, sexism, immigration, and climate change. At once a tale of personal discovery and a tribute to unrelenting determination, Rebel Chef is the story of one woman making a place for herself in the kitchen, and in the world. Review An Amazon Best Book of June 2020: In Rebel Chef, Dominique Crenn, the Michelin-starred chef/owner of Atelier Crenn, grants readers intimate access into her life and the result is inspiring and energizing. Crenn grew up in France but came to the States to realize her dream, working in various prestigious restaurants, and experiencing highs and lows in her career, before an accident pushed her to take the leap of faith and open her first restaurant, Atelier Crenn. Crenn never went to culinary school, but is inventive and intuitive in her cooking. She is passionate about her craft, family, sustaining the Earth, and providing opportunity to others. In a pattern you see repeated throughout her memoir, once Crenn sets her mind to something she works every angle to make it happen. Her philosophy for life is, “Why focus on things not working out? There is no failure in life, only opportunity.” I highlighted so many lines in this book, soaking up Crenn’s positive attitude about everything from her adoption, to criticism of her style as a chef, to a breast cancer diagnosis. The creativity and care that goes into Crenn’s signature dishes is described in mouth-watering detail, and I want to experience the poetry of her food in person, knowing that the woman behind it cares deeply about not only every ingredient, but everyone who touches it. Like a special meal, reading Rebel Chef is a memorable and gratifying experience. -Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review Review “In a delectable memoir marked by the same elegance that earned her international foodie renown, Crenn chronicles her journey from a childhood amid the lush farmland and wild coast of Brittany, to establishing an all-women kitchen in Indonesia, to taking the machismo out of Californian cuisine.” -O Magazine “Chef Dominique Crenn pens a deeply personal and moving memoir that will leave you inspired in more ways than one. Rebel Chef: In Search of What Matters is an honest account of her untraditional coming-of-age story, her relentless courage to fight sexism in a male-d
