![]() ![]() But Samuelsson’s career of chasing flavors had only just begun-in the intervening years, there have been White House state dinners, career crises, reality show triumphs, and, most important, the opening of Red Rooster in Harlem. ![]() Yes, Chef chronicles Samuelsson’s journey, from his grandmother’s kitchen to his arrival in New York City, where his outsize talent and ambition finally come together at Aquavit, earning him a New York Times three-star rating at the age of twenty-four. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. It begins with a simple ritual: Every Saturday afternoon, a boy who loves to cook walks to his grandmother’s house and helps her prepare a roast chicken for dinner. “One of the great culinary stories of our time.”-Dwight Garner, The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY VOGUE. ![]()
