DRUCKMAN, CHARLOTTE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
In this in-depth, behind-the-scenes tell-all about the lives of women chefs, journalist Charlotte Druckman walks
the reader into the world behind the hot line. But this is a different perspective on the kitchen: one told through
the voices of more than 100 of the best and brightest women cooking today, These are female chefs performing
culinary and domestic high wire acts: juggling sharp knives, battering heat, bruising male egos, and working
endless hours, often while raising small children and living from paycheck to paycheck. How they deal with
pressures, the expectations, the successes and failures, makes for absorbing reading.
