Chef.Omega, September 21, 2006 (view all comments by Chef.Omega)
Upon finding a dog eared , well used and loved copy of Larousse Gastronomique at the Powells Burnside location some 20 years ago , I knew from the moment I opened it that I had found my destiny ; I was a 15 year old kid who knew he was going to be a Chef ...Every page of this book screamed out to me with taste , smells and colors my mind could only imagine making ! I read that book cover to cover many times over the years and to this day find it to be the most important reference book in my library.
Now as the Chef De Cuisine at a very popular restaurant in Atlanta , Georgia I often wonder what might have become of me had I not purchased the most important book I have ever owned ? For any Chef or culinary student ...or foodie , I recomend adding this title to your library . At least flip through a copy . You never know ; it may just change your life ...It did it for mine .
