Heat: An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany
This book was recommended to me by a friend who knows me to be a bit of a foodie and thought I would enjoy it. For the most part I did enjoy it a lot, the author has a whit about him that I rather enjoyed. That being said I found myself growing a bit bored about half way through as the funny stories of restaurant life gave way to long meandering descriptions of pasta and pigs, interesting for a page or two, not ten. A good read that perhaps could have used a bit more editing.
