About This Book
When Slutty Cheff finds herself bored and fed-up with her nine-to-five job in corporate marketing, she turns to the only thing she loves to do: cooking. So she quits her job, swaps emails for emulsions, and sets off to pursue her dreams of becoming a chef. The world of London's fine dining restaurants is so much more than she imagined: It's more challenging and more exciting, too. There are the exhausting lows of sixty-hour work weeks in windowless kitchens, and the shock of stepping into the changing room as the only woman. There are the thrilling highs of a busy night, when service is running smoothly; electrifying run-ins with hot bartenders and even hotter chefs; and, always, the exhilaration of cycling hands-free through a city that is still sleeping, on a morning where anything can happen.

Reviews
"This book feels as unstudied and intimate as an impromptu supper thrown together for friends at home after the pubs close ..."
"Tart is what M.F.K Fisher might have written had she been born today."
"A vastly entertaining read, written in a straightforward style, that may be a soupçon too explicit for some readers."
"Stop publishing influencer 'memoirs' – this latest is proof ..."
"If it's sweaty chefs making wondrous grub, stick with Bourdain."
