Produktbeschreibung

The Winter Kitchen is a quiet, profound, and deeply sensory observation of a professional chef working alone through the late hours of a winter night. Told in formal, unhurried prose, the narrative follows the chef's meticulous preparation for the next day's service a ritual of precise, repetitive tasks. From the first clean thwack of his knife to the final, hollow thud of his footsteps in the cold alley, the book is a study in the sound, touch, and smell of a master craftsman's world. But beneath the surface of the work the scaling of fish, the simmering of stock, the careful turning of artichokes a quiet battle is taking place. The chef, a perfectionist haunted by the memory of failed apprentices, must contend with a body that is failing him. A persistent, chronic pain in his knee is a constant, unwelcome companion, transforming the simple act of standing into a feat of endurance. This book is not about the joy of cooking; it is about the cost of the work. It is a meditative and unflinching look at the relationship between the body and the craft, the nature of solitude, and the high price of perfection.
