Book excerpt: It is for all the people dreaming of meeting the right one on a wonderful heel 12 boot. She is Isabelle: thirty-four years old, a historic boyfriend and she owns a shoe boutique. He is Matthew: fifty years old, a historic girlfriend, he is about to marry he and he manages a restaurant. The streets of Isabelle and Matthew cross briefly (it's a lively bickering, they hate themselves instantly) in a crowded area at the JFK airport in New York, to split up, to their great relief. But, once landed and discovered with disappointment of having exchanged cell phones during the collision, fate will make them meet again. On the backdrop of an overwhelmingly romantic Paris, animated by unforgettable characters – from Marcus, Matthew's eccentric friend, to Marta, his girlfriend, perfect and hysterical, Isabelle and Matthew find themselves involved in an intoxicating circle where it will be very difficult not to fall (from a heel 12) into the arms of love..It is for all the people dreaming of meeting the right one on a wonderful heel 12 boot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queste Pillole di Management di Strada rappresentano il tentativo di declinare per un pubblico attento, e non necessariamente esperto, esperienze vissute e pensieri maturati in anni di lavoro accanto agli imprenditori e dentro le aziende: proprio "sulla strada"!Tutto quello che viene descritto è entrato dai piedi, è stato digerito a livello di pancia, ha attraversato il cuore ed è poi giunto alla testa per trasformarsi dunque in comandi alle mani per operare e, infine, tornare alle gambe per muoversi.Alla luce della nostra esperienza italiana, unica e irripetibile, irriducibile a formule alchemiche di sorta, con queste pagine provo a formalizzare suggerimenti e riflessioni utili da applicare al mondo dell'impresa, agli affari, al lavoro dei "grandi", e far così del mio meglio per "lasciare il mondo un po' migliore di come lo abbiamo trovato" (B.-P.): buona strada a tutti, e buona lettura!

Book excerpt: Stephen Hawking avrebbe dovuto passare più tempo ad aiutare la scienza medica a risolvere i problemi, compreso il suo, anziché cercare buchi neri nelle profondità della sua “mente brillante”, criticando aspramente quella che lo ha creato. Il dramma che lo ha reso disabile avrebbe potuto spingerlo a usare la sua “mente brillante” per aiutare gli altri sulla terra, invece di cercare buchi neri e inseguire l’infinitesimo, lasciando che se ne occupino quelli che non sono in condizioni fisiche come la sua. Avrebbe potuto divertirsi con un telescopio a casa sua, come facevo io quando abitavo a Miami, North Miami Beach, e poi a Oakland Park, mentre lo scorrere del tempo scandiva la mia vita. A quanto ne so, l’orgoglio di essere l’uomo dei buchi neri non lo sta aiutando, perché avrebbe dovuto spiegarci come difenderci da questi mostri anti Dio. Se uno di loro va fuori orbita e ci viene addosso, lui e la sua famiglia diventano cibo per buchi neri, poiché non hanno un Dio che li difende. Questi divoratori della galassia terrorizzano angeli e demoni, e turbano i sogni dei bambini.

What Chef Carroll has to say is the real thing." —Johnny Carrabba, founder, Carrabba's Restaurant Leadership Lessons from a Chef is about creating excellence in the professional kitchen.

I never thought anyone could capture the magic and mission of being a chef, but theyve done it!" Barbara Tropp, Chef-Owner, China Moon Cafe "An unusually comprehensive book, immensely readable, at once passionate and coherent, probing and well-informed. For anyone interested in the historic coming of age of the professional American kitchen, this is a requisite buy." Michael and Ariane Batterberry, Founding Editors and Associate Publishers of Food Arts "Finally, a book that lets chefs speak for themselves! An insightful look at the complex life of a professional chef in the 90s. Fascinating portraits of the people who have defined American cuisinewho they are and how they got to be where they are today. Anyone who is interested in becoming a chef will find this book invaluablethis is what it takes to make it." Mark Miller, Chef-Owner, Coyote Cafe and Red Sage "After reading this book, I understand that becoming an outstanding leader is not very different from becoming a chef. Both roles require passion, discipline, authenticity, and an experimental attitude. On top of that, organizing a kitchen may be as difficult as organizing any business. Not only will present and future chefs and restaurateurs want to read this book, but anyone with a taste for excellent cooking and excellent leadership will find something of interest on every page." Warren Bennis, Distinguised Professor of Business Administration at the University of Southern California and Author, On Becoming a Leader and Leaders "Becoming a Chef is a marvelous book for the interested home cook as well as the aspiring chef. Like great wines with great food, there are great dishes and a great education here." Robert Mondavi, Founder, Robert Mondavi Winery

Book excerpt: Inside what life is really like for the new generation of professional cooks—a captivating tale of the make-or-break first year at a young chef’s new restaurant. For many young people, being a chef is as compelling a dream as being a rock star or professional athlete. 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. The heart of Generation Chef 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 Forbes 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, Generation Chef is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at drive and passion in one of today’s hottest professions.

Book excerpt: With the wit and pace of Anthony Bourdain, Italian chef and anthropologist Leonardo Lucarelli sketches the exhilarating life behind the closed doors of restaurants, and the unlikely work ethics of the kitchen. In Italy, five-star restaurants and celebrity chefs may seem, on the surface, a part of the landscape. In reality, the restaurant industry is as tough, cutthroat, and unforgiving as anywhere else in the world--sometimes even colluding with the shady world of organized crime. The powerful voice of Leonardo Lucarelli takes us through the underbelly of Italy's restaurant world. Lucarelli is a professional chef who for almost two decades has been roaming Italy opening restaurants, training underpaid, sometimes hopelessly incompetent sous-chefs, courting waitresses, working long hours, riding high on drugs, and cursing a culinary passion he inherited as a teenager from his hippie father. In his debut, Mincemeat: The Education of an Italian Chef, Lucarelli teaches us that even among rogues and misfits, there is a moral code in the kitchen that must, above all else, always be upheld.
