My memoir spans the first twelve years of my life as a professional chef. I was living in hell from September 1980 until 1993, facing many unforeseen challenges in every aspect of my life. I planned on making this a cookbook twenty-two years ago. Then one day in 2011, it came to me that it needed to be a memoir, so I just sat down and wrote. While writing this book, I found myself craving to feel hungry again, and with that came misery. The old habits of anorexia truly never leave. They linger around waiting for the chance to pounce again. I think that both my parents being artists of sorts gave me an interesting view of life. We were totally allowed our freedom and they gave us their trust. As I was being rushed to the hospital staring at three of my severed fingers floating in ice water, I couldn’t believe what just happened. At age twenty-four, I was pretty, thin, and working as a line cook among Hollywood’s elite. I was about to get married, but it all came to a screeching halt in 1980, when I severed three of my fingers in an industrial Cuisinart in the kitchen where I worked. I describe my journey through the most difficult time of my life: suffering from anorexia and living with a disability. How could my life continue after losing three of my precious fingers, and on my right hand, no less? Miraculously, I pulled myself out of anorexia by finally seeing my body as it really was. I began to slowly heal, though it took almost thirty-one more years. I read self-help books, recited affirmations, and began to seriously search for the missing piece of my heart. This is my account of being a woman in a male-dominated industry, complete with a complicated relationship with food and a man, resulting in a long self-destructive streak. I have been cooking for thirty-eight years professionally, including an apprenticeship in 1980 with Wolfgang Puck, ultimately becoming his head chef at Spago, Sunset. “I can’t wait to read anything that she writes.” – Marc Vetri, Philadelphia restaurateur, named one of the Top Ten Chefs in America

This cookbook is a culmination of all thoughtfully prepared recipes. There's a wide variety of recipes which include flavored butters, vegetables, grains, pastas, soups, eggs, vegan, vegetarian, salad dressings, salads, and sweets. I've created over thousands of recipes over the last forty plus years of cooking professionally, except for the baked goods. Baking was something that came way later which would become a business called Butter Barn Butter. Using gluten free, organic cane and brown sugars, grass fed, or organic butter and pasture eggs are the key to a better tasting treat, not to mention the love and passion my team puts into baking them. I am a simple chef. I'm not the deconstruction chef. I'm not the meticulously placed items with tweezers chef. I am a don't -mess -around -with -the -food -too -much chef! I want all my food to be colorful and pleasing to the eyes, easy and quick to prepare and tasty as well. I've been told that my sweets satisfy my customers craving after a few bites which was my goal originally. I tell people to cut them into pieces, bag them and freeze them. When they crave a sweet, grab one and eat it frozen. It's a great way to satisfy that sweet tooth. I am passionate and thoughtful when I cook, and I make sure my energy is always in a giving place. You may think that sounds silly, but if you're sick, unhappy, angry, etc., don't cook! I've been told that people who eat my food feel great afterwards because I truly believe having good energy while cooking makes all the difference in how the food tastes and makes one feel. Always remember where your food came from as well. Remember all the hardworking farmers, the pickers, the fisherman, the truckers, people who sail a shipping container across the ocean, the packers, and many other people who got the food to the stores for you to enjoy and prepare.

For decades, beloved chef Lidia Bastianich has introduced Americans to Italian food through her cookbooks, TV shows, and restaurants. Now she tells her own story for the first time in this “memoir as rich and complex as her mushroom ragú" (O, the Oprah Magazine). Born in Pula, on the Istrian peninsula, Lidia grew up surrounded by love and security, learning the art of Italian cooking from her beloved grandmother. But when Istria was annexed by a communist regime, Lidia’s family fled to Trieste, where they spent two years in a refugee camp waiting for visas to enter the United States. When she finally arrived in New York, Lidia soon began working in restaurants, the first step on a path that led to her becoming one of the most revered chefs and businesswomen in the country. Heartwarming, deeply personal, and powerfully inspiring, My American Dream is the story of Lidia’s close-knit family and her dedication and endless passion for food.

An inspiring, heartwarming memoir from the unlikely chef of The Waverly Inn The Hunger is an insider's take on the crazy life that is the restaurant business, as well as an underdog's tale of survival. Dissatisfied with his corporate career, John DeLucie followed his passion for food to a single cooking class at the New School (where he was named Most Likely to Succeed). He launched his first food gig at SoHo's famed Dean & DeLuca, then cooked at several New York–area restaurants. For fifteen years, DeLucie worked his way through major challenges, while accepting both successes and failures, until finally opening his restaurant The Waverly Inn—the Greenwich Village sensation. He now shares secrets about the behind-the-scenes details from the tiny kitchen, the front of the house, and outside the restaurant, where the paparazzi gather. Also included are the stories behind some of DeLucie's signature recipes. The Hunger is a story about food and desire and appetite—an intimate window onto a chaotic world.
