Quite the encyclopedic book on the cut-throat race of famous French chefs, to reach the fabled 3-star status from the Guide Michelin. This book details the life of Bernard Loiseau; from his humble beginnings, to his meteoric rise to the top of la cuisine Francaise! If you're into details of menus, ingredients, and the almost psychotic drives of men racing to capture those 3 stars, you won't be disappointed!
