Book
Tart : misadventures of an anonymous chef / Slutty Cheff.
When Slutty Cheff finds herself bored and fed-up with her corporate job, she turns to what she really likes to do: cooking. She quits her job, swaps emails for emulsions, and sets off to pursue her dreams of becoming a chef. The world of London's fine dining restaurants is more than she imagined: it's more challenging and exciting. There are the exhausting lows of sixty-hour work weeks in windowless kitchens, and the shock of stepping into the changing room as the only woman. There are the thrilling highs of a busy night, when service is running smoothly; electrifying run-ins with hot bartenders and even hotter chefs; and, always, the exhilaration of cycling hands-free through a city that is still sleeping, on a morning where anything can happen. This is a story about searching for your purpose, and experiencing and embracing life to the fullest along the way.
