In the blink of an eye, Bob Spitz turned 50, and fi nished an eight-year book project on The Beatles and a 14-year marriage to his wife. He then had his heart stolen and broken on the rebound and sought salvation the only way he knew how - by following his palette. Spitz fl ed to Europe, where he immersed himself among the fi nest cooking schools in pursuit of his dream.
Combining an outrageous travelogue with gastronomic lore, hands-on cooking instruction, hot-tempered chefs, local personalities and a batch of memorable recipes, Spitz's odyssey recounts the transformation of a professional writer - and lifelong kitchen amateur - into a world-class cook.
In each chapter Spitz includes a number of signature recipes that he learned during his time at the European cooking schools and offers training tips from the master chefs - such as learning how to cook a perfect omelet.
