Title: Hungry Pdf Eating, Road-Tripping, and Risking It All with the Greatest Chef in the World
A food critic chronicles four years spent traveling with René Redzepi, the renowned chef of Noma, in search of the most tantalizing flavors the world has to offer.
"Gordinier takes us into the fabulously obsessive realm of the world's most fascinating chef - and he does it with the voice of a poet." (Ruth Reichl, author of Save Me the Plums)
Hungry is a book about not only the hunger for food, but for risk, for reinvention, for creative breakthroughs, and for connection.
Feeling stuck in his work and home life, writer Jeff Gordinier happened into a fateful meeting with Danish chef René Redzepi, whose restaurant, Noma, has been called the best in the world. A restless perfectionist, Redzepi was at the top of his game but was looking to tear it all down, to shutter his restaurant and set out for new places, flavors, and recipes. This is the story of the subsequent four years of globe-trotting culinary adventure, with Gordinier joining Redzepi as his Sancho Panza.
In the jungle of the Yucatán peninsula, Redzepi and his comrades go off-road in search of the perfect taco. In Sydney, they forage for sea rocket and sandpaper figs in suburban parks and on surf-lashed beaches. On a boat in the Arctic Circle, a lone fisherman guides them to what may or may not be his secret cache of the world's finest sea urchins. And back in Copenhagen, the quiet canal-lined city where Redzepi started it all, he plans the resurrection of his restaurant on the unlikely site of a garbage-filled lot. Along the way, listeners meet Redzepi's merry band of friends and collaborators, including acclaimed chefs such as Danny Bowien, Kylie Kwong, Rosio Sánchez, David Chang, and Enrique Olvera.
Hungry is a memoir, a travelogue, a portrait of a chef, and a chronicle of the moment when daredevil cooking became the most exciting and groundbreaking form of artistry.
Praise for Hungry
"In Hungry, Gordinier invokes such playful and lush prose that the scents of mole, chiles, and even lingonberry juice waft off the page." (Time)
"This wonderful book is really about the adventures of two men: a great chef and a great journalist. Hungry is a feast for the senses, filled with complex passion and joy, bursting with life. Not only did Jeff Gordinier make me want to jump on the next flight (to Mexico, Copenhagen, Sydney) in search of the perfect meal, but he also reminded me to stop and savor the ride." (Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance)
More than a Road Trip The headline should probably be Risking it All. What are we all looking for in life? Countless books talk about vulnerability and taking great risks. We hear mostly about the successes, especially when it concerns superstar chefs. But what about the failures or the near misses? Or most importantly, what about the risks that we never hear about, because they never happened?For me that's what Hungry is about. Beyond the culinary backdrop, it's about an opening up to possibilities where none exist, conjuring up scenarios that stretch beyond our own limited self perceptions and world views. Yes, we can dream big and decide to take that leap, but what if you met someone in your life that said, “that’s a nice dream but when I met you, I saw this….” And what if that “this” was so deeply buried in your psyche, so buried you couldn’t and wouldn’t even go there?That’s how I imagine how it went down with Rene and Jeff. And this goes beyond the personal connection...Both between Jeff and Rene, and also between Jeff and me, who happens to be a good friend. I deeply appreciate how Rene sees the world. After reading Hungry, I pondered upon it on my morning hike. I started to see perhaps that there were culinary possibilities all around me... “hmm,does that plant have a yummy taste profile? Can I use it and how?” What else was I not seeing that was right in front of me? And I loved learning about culinary connections I hadn’t even thought about.I also appreciate the vulnerability that Jeff displays in the dissolution of his marriage. Marriage can be messy. We all know that, and divorce with kids can be even messier. It’s never perfect. Ever. But here’s the deal, all relationships can get messy and we grow, we learn, we change, or not. We do our best and if this doesn’t apply to you, well then you’re missing out on something.Hungry is an honest book. People can be superstars and it’s important to remember that they’re still people. They just take bigger risks. So the question I ask myself and the reader is: “Where are you willing to take a risk to succeed or fail? Who’s your Rene Redzepi?"Great read if you are a FOODIE Love the storytelling here. Really fun read if you love food and dining....Culinary Rhapsody This book is both exhilarating and poetic. From the cold open of waking with sand in his mouth on a beach in Tulum to a contented dinner with his son in Copenhagen, Gordinier takes his reader on a voyage that shines a light into the mind of Redzepi ... his frenetic curiosity, his unrelenting drive that may ultimately prove to be his ruin. Spot-on rock allusions are not only fun for his reader, but are surprisingly illuminating in painting a scene from this vivid world inhabited by insanely creative chefs.
