About
A novel about a legendary French female chef -- the facts her life, the nearly ineffable qualities of her cooking, and the obsessive, sometimes destructive desire for purity of taste and experience that shaped her life. A chef who was celebrated as one of the best in a world where men dominate, and the way that her pursuit of love, pleasure, and gustatory delights helped shape her life and career. Told from the perspective of her former assistant (and unrequited lover), now an aged chef himself, here is the story of a woman's quest to the front of the kitchen -- and the extraordinary journey she takes along the way, becoming a single mother, leaving her daughter with family and opening her own restaurant, which wins rave reviews, until the fraught relationship with her daughter threatens to destroy everything the Cheffe has spent her life perfecting.
