Chef, restaurateur, entrepreneur and teacher with decades of experience, Chef Gentieu s professional record is both varied and deep. An honors graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, he also served with the U.S. Army as a chef for two three-star generals. He has owned and operated five restaurants and spent the 90s in a number of Executive Chef and management positions at restaurants, resorts and clubs throughout Central California. Currently Chef Gentieu and his wife, Midge, own and operate Papagallo Yacht Charters in Morro Bay, California.
If you're looking for a good read that is honest, informative and entertaining, you won't be disappointed with Chasing the Heat by Leonard Gentieu. It's like a favorite dish you prepare for company simply because it's good and you want to share it.
His high-energy book is about food, but it's not a cookbook. It's about coping, but it's not pop psychology. It's about business and entrepreneurship, but it's not facts and figures or hi-tech. Finally, it's about inspiration and success, but it's not religious.
