Publisher: Taylor Trade Publishing

Imprint: Taylor Trade Publishing

Long considered a culinary renegade and a pioneering chef, Norman Van Aken is an American original who chopped and charred his way to cooking stardom with no formal training. This book is his joyride of a memoir—spanning twenty-plus years and nearly as many jobs—including the job advertisement for a short-order cook with “no experience necessary.”
