HUNGRY Eating, Road-Tripping, and Risking It All with the Greatest Chef in the World

ESQUIRE's food and drinks editor narrates this pulse-quickening account of his four-year odyssey with Noma's chef and food visionary, Rene Redzepi. Gordinier's choice to capture the protean personality of the oft-described "greatest chef in the world" in deliberate measured tones allows the listener to savor the remarkable recipes, unusual flavors, unique textures, and revolutionary cuisine of Redzepi's Copenhagen restaurant--both the original Noma and now version 2.0. Gordinier also details the frustration and eventual fulfilment surrounding the chef's pop-up in Tulum, Mexico. This audiobook melds the biography and antics of Redzepi with the author's personal story. Most compellingly, the listener learns the origin story of this most influential chef and guru of foraging and fermentation. This audiobook skillfully and poetically reveals Redzepi's adventurous soul. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2019]
