Sous Chef (Gibney)

Book Reviews
(Starred review.) Gibney writes about what it’s actually like to work in the kitchen of a fine dining restaurant.... [T[he narrative wonderfully captures a single day’s events...[and] Gibney is as skilled with words as he is with his 11-inch Sujihiki knife....This love of language permeates the whole book.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) An experienced sous chef and first-time author skillfully deconstructs a 24-hour work cycle of a sous chef in a New York kitchen. Gibney builds his narrative around the intimate, intense and demanding dance occurring within the kitchen of a busy NYC restaurant... [and] ably relays mountains of information in this remarkable trek through his storehouse of knowledge. Sumptuously entertaining fare.
