Produktbeschreibung

An Instant Sunday Times (London) Bestseller A New York Times Best Nonfiction Book of Summer 2025 A Vogue Best Book of 2025 So Far A Service95 Must-Read Book of 2025 A “sexy, frank, delectable memoir” (The New York Times) about coming of age in and out of the kitchen, from the anonymous chef and columnist, Slutty Cheff. “If a twenty-something, British Carrie Bradshaw narrated a London-set Kitchen Confidential, it might read something like Tart.” —Shelf Awareness When Slutty Cheff finds herself bored and fed-up with her 9–5 job in corporate marketing, she turns to the only thing that she really likes to do: cooking. So she quits her job, swaps emails for emulsions, and sets off to pursue her dreams of becoming a chef. The world of London’s fine dining restaurants is so much more than she imagined: it’s more challenging, and more exciting too. There are the exhausting lows of sixty-hour work weeks in windowless kitchens, and the shock of stepping into the changing room as the only woman. There are the thrilling highs of a busy night, when service is running smoothly; electrifying run-ins with hot bartenders and even hotter chefs; and, always, the exhilaration of cycling hands-free through a city that is still sleeping, on a morning where anything can happen. This is a story about searching for your purpose, and experiencing and embracing life to the fullest along the way. The pleasure and the chaos too… An exquisite mix of raw Anthony Bourdain-style honesty with the sharp wit of Lena Dunham’s Girls, Tart is THE book for those who like to eat and f**k.

Rezensionen

[A] sexy, frank, delectable memoir… One of the delights of Tart is a vivid, vicarious sense of being young and in love – with food, with sex, with life and, most of all, with London itself. Tart is a book about appetites, elegant and refined at times, at others visceral and heartfelt and crude. It's a Rabelaisian romp, a dive into no-holds-barred gourmandise. But it's also a serious work; despite her rollicking spirit, Slutty Cheff isn't kidding around. Her real subject is the intersection of work and love, and what it means to have a true calling. Whether hers is writing, cooking or both remains to be seen, but I'll gladly stick around to find out.
