Life, On the Line

Chef's battle with cancer redefines culinary arts.

If you're fascinated by culinary innovation and personal resilience, Grant Achatz's story could stir your soul. Imagine a chef losing their taste but still reaching the pinnacle of gastronomy. It's more than an autobiography; it's a tale of reinvention, passion, and how life's harshest challenges can lead to groundbreaking success. This book might just change the way you think about food and the human spirit.

Description

Life, on the Line tells the story of a culinary trailblazer's love affair with cooking, but it is also a book about survival, about nurturing creativity, and about profound friendship. Already much-anticipated by followers of progressive cuisine, Grant and Nick's gripping narrative is filled with stories from the world's most renowned kitchens - The French Laundry, Charlie Trotter's, el Bulli - and sure to expand the audience that made Alinea the number-one selling restaurant cookbook in America last year.
