Another Rave

I loved this book from the first page. Even the Author's Note was amusing. It may not be quite as wonderful as "Kitchen Confidential," but it comes close. In fact, I just extolled its virtues on my blog: www.caseyellis.com/blog.

Hunger Satisfied

I started reading the "The Hunger" last night and I couldn't put it down, it's a great read! Delucie brings you into his world without being vengeful or folksy. You defintley come away with the feeling he is not one of those atypical maniac chefs we've all read about before but a guy you want to be fed by and want to hang with!

Full and Want More!

This is a great read. Well written, witty and just plain old fun. A wonderful insight on how the chef struggled through challenges of life to get to where he is now. Exemplifying how perseverance pays off!! Very nice to read about accomplishments that come to fruition without stepping on or over anyone to get there. Highly recommend this book!!

Surprisingly Personal

I've been to the Waverly Inn and bought this book expecting a celebrity tell-all. I was quickly and immediately surprised to be drawn into a story about one man's change in career. Mind you, Delucie certainly dishes with great humor throughout the book, but my favorite parts were the very human stories reflecting his challenges and struggles in the food business mixed in with the glitzy Waverly chapters. I loved the stories...

yummy like biscuits

I love this book! It's a perfect summer read - warm, sweet, funny and delicious and full of wonderful anecdotes that will leave you feeling all fuzzy inside. Take it to the beach along with some bubblies - you won't regret it!
