Skill and creativity in the kitchen are more profitable than ever before, as cooks scramble to reach the top:but talent isn't enough. Today's chef needs the business savvy of a high-risk entrepreneur, determination, and big dose of luck.a  The heart of \u003ci\u003eGeneration Chef\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of Jonah Miller, who at age twenty-four attempts to fulfill a lifelong dream by opening the Basque restaurant Huertas in New York City, still the high-stakes center of the restaurant business for an ambitious young chef. Miller, a rising star who has been named to the 30-Under-30 list of both \u003ci\u003eForbes\u003c\/i\u003e and Zagat, quits his job as a sous chef, creates a business plan, lines up investors, leases a space, hires a staff, and gets ready to put his reputation and his future on the line.  Journalist and food writer Karen Stabiner takes us inside Huertas's roller-coaster first year, but also provides insight into the challenging world a young chef faces today:the intense financial pressures, the overcrowded field of aspiring cooks, and the impact of reviews and social media, which can dictate who survives.  A fast-paced narrative filled with suspense, \u003ci\u003eGeneration Chef\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at drive and passion in one of today's hottest professions.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48303225471134,"sku":"UBD-9780735217676","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780735217676.jpg?v=1789890225","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780735217676","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
