Interesting glimpses into a variety of parts of food/restaurant industry. Relatable story. ( ) It's a great and informative read of a woman's journey into food addiction and recovery. Without giving anything away, certain aspects of it helped me to help someone else. I'm a volunteer listener at an online counseling site. There were parts of this book that allowed me to understand what someone was going through From her teens, Hannah Howard had always been obsessed with food, especially fine food. After an overly critical childhood, where her mother cared far more about Hannah's weight than Hannah did, she clawed her way into Columbia University and then searched for her place in the food industry. She started out at a gelato cart and then worked in a variety of venues: haute cuisine restaurants, gourmet food stores, and even a chain steak house restaurant. She speaks frankly about the sexism and even rape within the industry where most chefs and managers are male. During the time she relates, she bounced from anorexia to obesity while also being addicted to older, often married boyfriends always tied to the food industry. I expected this to be light and fluffy and in many ways it was. But there was actually a bit of meat there, too (excuse all the food puns, please!) and it ended with quite a bit of hope as she seems to have found her path to recovery. It was a well written, entertaining read. She writes in an engaging style that drew me quickly onward. I found it a pleasant book, but already in writing this review, many of the details have escaped me. She is currently working as a food writer, a topic I'm interested in, so I'll be interested to see her next offering. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Hannah Howard is a Columbia University freshman when she lands a hostess job at Picholine, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan. Eighteen years old and eager to learn, she's invigorated by the manic energy and knife-sharp focus of the crew. By day Hannah explores the Columbia arts scene, struggling to find her place. By night she's intoxicated by boxes of heady truffles and intrigued by the food industry's insiders. She's hungry for knowledge, success, and love, but she's also ravenous because she hasn't eaten more than yogurt and coffee in days. Hannah is hiding an eating disorder. The excruciatingly late nights, demanding chefs, bad boyfriends, and destructive obsessions have left a void inside her that she can't fill. To reconcile her relationships with the food she worships and a body she struggles to accept, Hannah's going to have to learn to nourish her soul."--Page [4] of cover.
