If you want to change your views on the way you see fine dining, want to learn about the racism in a predominantly white industry, or love food in general, this book is for you. Chef Kwame has done an excellent job sharing his life's story both as a black man, but also, as someone finding their passion. To say his descriptions of food was mesmerizing, is an understatement. To this day, I still think of the ways in which he holds ingredients, dishes, and memories influencing his food, in such high regard and close to his heart. I first liked, and hear of, Chef Kwame from season 13 of Top Chef, but now I am eagerly looking forward to, one day, trying his food. Black chefs and black food belong in the culinary world and fine dining, and this industry needs to work harder to highlight both.
