Produktbeschreibung

In The Raw Lessons from a Chef's Life, veteran chef and author Moses Hernandez offers a powerful and personal collection of insights drawn from nearly three decades in the kitchen. This special abridged edition, adapted from his memoir The Raw Journey: A Chef's Honest Path Towards Growth, is crafted specifically for the next generation of culinary professionals-line cooks, dishwashers, sous chefs, and aspiring leaders alike. Hernandez's journey has taken him through restaurants, casinos, hospitals, monasteries, nursing homes, and elite private schools. Along the way, he battled addiction, overcame obesity, found sobriety, and rediscovered purpose. Through it all, the kitchen remained both sanctuary and proving ground-a place where grit, humility, and discipline shaped not only his craft but his character. This edition is more than just a reflection-it's a gift. A raw, honest offering of lessons learned, mistakes made, and wisdom earned. With heart, humor, and hard truth, Hernandez encourages young culinarians to lead with integrity, embrace growth, and carve out their own paths in a demanding yet deeply rewarding industry. Whether you're fresh on the line or charting a future in food service, this book is a hand extended from one chef to another. Take what you need. Leave better than you came.
