A glimpse into a life I'll never probably lead, not being born to it, this is a fine autobiography. I feel anyone who loves cooking and food will enjoy it, perhaps anyone who loves gossip and intrigue will also. Not for the fainthearted, it does cast a bit of a shadow on the mystery of fine cuisine, you might not look at your order from the kitchen quite the same waya again. That may not be a bad thing. All in all an enjoyable, fast read.
