This book is based on the screenplay, so if you've seen the movie, you'll probably be picturing it in your head as you read. The story is so captivating I was pulled in immediately and could hardly put it down.

Very fast read with a good variety of ideas and encouragement. The author provides general suggestions on how to approach the challenge, occasionally with week-by-week or day-by-day plans. One problem I found was regular references to find more information on https://hackerella.com/30daybook which elicits a "404 Not Found" error.

At times gritty and hard to stomach; at others, delightful. Just like the chef himself.
