Jamie Oliver, Anthony Worrall Thompson, Heston Blumenthal and many more reveal their most outrageous culinary catastrophes in this hilarious behind the scenes glimpse of life in the kitchen.
Even the world’s finest chefs and cooks have their off days. In Don’t Try This At Home, 33 chefs and food writers talk about the times when it all went terribly wrong.
There are stories about clumsy waiters and drunken maître d’s, food that fails to arrive for a party, wedding cakes that disintegrate and then there are the rueful, embarrassed stories of errant youth. How the chefs manage to save the day is as entertaining as the disasters that strike them.
Don’t Try This At Home is a delicious reminder that even the chefs we most admire aren’t always perfect.
Don’t Try This at Home by Andrew Friedman and Kimberley Witherspoon is in hardcover at 19.50 euros.
