skillfully cultivates this attitude for success, and so leads the way
toward kitchen excellence.
Using stories and examples drawn from his many years' experience, Chef

proven wisdom in plainspoken terms instead of abstract management
theories, the practical tools and ideas found in this groundbreaking
