Life on the line review



Well worth the money.

2 weeks, is about, what it took me to get thrue this book.

And that`s not allot fore a guy who has problems sitting still, and doing nothing.

Is it because it`s just one of the BEST books ever.......?

The answer is no.

But there is something about the book, that makes it hard to put it back down.

It`s well written, changing between the two head caracters behind Alinea rest.

Achatz and Kokonas both give a very detailed story about the stress, concerns, fun, and pride that it took them to put together a world class restaurant, especially when Achatz get diagnoses with cancer in the tongue.

It is probably the worst thing ever, but this story show`s that you can still pull thrue, even the worst things.

Taking you thrue his childhood, in a restaurant and his chase for perfection with Keller, before going at it himself, and in the end making his own rest. he go`s thrue the thought`s that every cook and chef with passion can relate to.

But that being said, it also showes (to me) a lesson that is important in this industri, "don`t put all of your identeti in your job as a chef".

There is a fine balance between being genius and insane!

But read the book, it is pretty good.
