description: By the time Dominique Crenn decided to become a chef at the age of twenty-one she knew it was a near impossible dream in France where almost all restaurant kitchens were run by men. So she moved to San Francisco to train under Jeremiah Tower. Almost thirty years later Crenn was awarded three Michelin Stars in 2018 for her restaurant Atelier Crenn and became the first female chef in the United States to receive this honor. In this book the author writes of her childhood in Versailles. Adopted as a toddler growing up she often felt like an outsider and was haunted by a past she knew nothing about. But after years of working to fill this blank space Crenn has embraced the power her history gives her to be whoever she wants to be. She also addresses restaurant culture sexism immigration and climate change this is a book of a chef's personal journey of discovery.
