Summary:
Chef and television personality Aarón Sánchez recounts his formative years and how he fell in love with the culinary world. From a summer spent in New Orleans with Paul Prudhomme during his adolescent years, to a short-lived stint in culinary school, to ups and downs in New York City's ever-changing restaurant scene, and ultimately to the dizzying world of food television, Sánchez draws strength from hard-won lessons and embraces the challenge and responsibility of being a role model for Latinos. -- Adapted from book jacket.
