Toro Bravo: The Making, Breaking, and Riding of a Bull by John Gorham, Liz Crain, David Reamer

howjessicareads's review

3.0

John Gorham, chef and owner of Portland’s popular Toro Bravo restaurant, has created this cookbook/memoir to share details of his life, cooking philosophies, and recipes. The first 90 pages or so document his childhood, how he came to be a chef, and how he started Toro Bravo, a Spanish-inspired restaurant. His story is sometimes shocking (and rather profane), but is also funny and fascinating.
