I picked this up knowing nothing about this chef. Well I knew she was involved in a charity even to feed Ukraine people during the war with Russia. She made Unity Bread to share with other chefs who made their dishes to share. The bread looked so good and I loved her vision of unity through food. I wanted to know how this chef had gotten this open heartedness in our harsh times. I just finished her story and Dominique Crenn is a remarkable person.
Her life was never a simple follow the dots style but a leaping, foraging, self education zig zag that thankfully for us all she didn't abandon when it got sticky. She blazed into the world on male school taught chefs as a woman, a woman who learned through living and doing. She learned well, and has Michelin stars to prove it.
There isn't a lot of talk of specific recipes but she did mention a few tasty sounding dishes I will be trying, like Shiso sorbet. I just happen to have a large crop of shiso leaves this summer :D

An honest account of life behind the scenes in the culinary world and the trials and tribulations of being different. Crenn was so fortunate to be adopted by loving people who gave her the best experience a child could have with a loving family and freedom to follow her dream.
She did some extra ordinary things and worked long hard hours in several locations both in the USA and Asia. Her private life and good friends held her together and when she got seriously ill she decided that on healing it was time to open her own restaurant Atelier Crenn and from then on she never looked back. She was rewarded with 3 Michelin stars and the Legion D'Honneur.… (mais)

I have followed the career of Dominique Crenn since she arrived in San Francisco in 1990, so when I saw she had written a memoir, I was eager to read it. I'm glad to recommend this well-written, honest narrative. This is the real story behind the news, the publicity, and the gossip. I appreciated her authenticity in sharing her origins in a French orphanage, her childhood as a beloved adopted daughter, and her personal development in pursuing her career as a chef and ultimately a restaurateur.
