The Making of a Chef

Luke Mangan is recognised internationally as a leading chef and restaurateur-a long way from the boy who wouldn't do his schoolwork. 'The Making of a Chef' follows Luke's career-forming days under the tutelage of the tough but great chef Hermann Schneider, and his quest to work with the best chefs in Europe to learn all he could about the art of food. This honest, warm account charts the highs and lows of Luke's ventures as he rubs shoulders with A-listers and royalty, travels the world and learns lessons in business and life alike. Including four of Luke's signature recipes, this book is an insight into the making of today's the chef.
