If you’re looking for a little light summer reading about food, there’s a great buy ($4.99) at Amazon.com that is totally worth the price. *How I Learned to Cook: Culinary Explorations from the World’s Greatest Chefs* is entertaining, intriguing, and easy to read. The collection of chefs interviewed for this book is eclectic, from Ferran Adria to David Chang to Michelle Bernstein. Their inspirations are equally diverse and range from meeting Julia Child to an eye-opening meal in Italy to falling into the restaurant business as a way to pay for a vacation. The short essays mean that you can pick it up and put it down multiple times without ever feeling as though you’ve lost your place. It’s on the bedside table right now, and on those evenings when I can’t fall asleep, it’s a wonderful reminder of why I love this business.
