Where I Come from: Life Lessons from a Latino Chef (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419747663)

America's most prominent Latino chef shares the story behind his food, his family, and his professional journey Before Chef Aar n S nchez rose to fame on shows such as MasterChef and Chopped, he was a restless Mexican American son, raised by a fiercely determined and talented woman who was a successful chef and restaurateur in her own right--credited with bringing Mexican cuisine to the New York City dining scene. Aar n S nchez was destined to follow in his mother's footsteps. He spent nights as a child in his family's dining room, surrounded by some of the most influential chefs and restaurateurs in New York. He lost his father at a young age, and at 16 he was sent to work for renowned chef Paul Prudhomme in New Orleans.
In this memoir, S nchez delves into his formative years with remarkable candor, injecting his story with adrenaline and revealing how he fell in love with cooking and made a go of it in the fast-paced culinary world. S nchez shares invaluable lessons he learned--both inside and outside the kitchen--and offers an intimate look into the chaotic and untraditional life of a professional chef and television personality. This is S nchez's highly personal account of a fatherless Latino kid whose talent and passion took him to the top of his profession.
