Molto Entertaining
I just finished reading Bill Buford's account of his time in Mario Batali's kitchen and his "adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprientice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany."
It's fascinating and very well writen (he was, after all, the former fiction editor of the New Yorker magazine) and kind of inspiring. (And a little bit off-putting for those, like me, who are not quite comfortable with an abundance of animal carcasses.)
Still, I'm impressed with the links he was willing to go to follow his passion. And I love his reoccuring rational for doing a lot of pretty unreasonable things: "There is still so much to learn, and I may never have this opportunity again!"
