Review:
"Somewhere in this messy, digressive and extremely lengthy treatise is a very good magazine article trying to get out....[Y]ou have to admire his passion, but must we as readers endure his Odysseus-like quest to find one main topic in the culinary sea? It's perhaps an understatement to say that strenuous editing would have helped Ruhlman immensely."
Courtney Weaver, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 07/09/2000
Review:"...Ruhlman sets out to perform a task even restaurant insiders would find difficult: to delve so deeply into the hearts and minds of a few select chefs that he may discover the essence of haute cuisine. Amazing enough, he succeeds--by turning his investigation into an adventure story, a hold-your-breath-while-you-turn-the-page thriller that's also an anthropological study of the culture of cooking."
Anthony Bourdain, New York Times Book Review, 07/30/2000
