As a young, unspectacular cook, David Chang opened a noodle restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village that should not have survived its first, misbegotten year. But, through sheer stubbornness and a series of utterly reckless choices, he became a chef who the New York Times once described as “the modern equivalent of Norman Mailer or Muhammad Ali”. In this memoir, Chang lays bare his self-doubt and ruminates on mental health.

By the time he was 27 years old, Kwame Onwuachi had opened - and closed - one of the most talked-about restaurants in America. He had launched his own catering company with $20,000 that he made from selling candy on the subway, yet he’d been told he would never make it on television because his cooking wasn’t “Southern” enough. In this inspiring memoir about the intersection of race, fame, and food, he shares the remarkable story of his culinary coming-of-age.

In suburban Indiana we meet Lina, the homemaker and mother of two whose marriage, after a decade, has lost its passion. Starved for affection, Lina battles daily panic attacks and, after reconnecting with an old flame through social media, embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming. In North Dakota we meet Maggie, the 17-year-old high school student who allegedly has a clandestine physical relationship with her handsome, married English teacher; the ensuing criminal trial will turn their quiet community upside down.

In her new audiobook, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.

In 1981, Rebecca Solnit rented a studio apartment in San Francisco that would be her home for the next twenty-five years. There, she began to come to terms with the epidemic of violence against women around her, the street harassment that unsettled her, and the authority figures that routinely disbelieved her. That violence weighed on her as she faced the task of having a voice in a society that preferred women to shut up or go away.

Description
A singular, powerfully expressive debut memoir that traces one chef's struggle to find her place and what happens once she does.
Burn the Place is a galvanizing culinary memoir that chronicles Iliana Regan's journey from foraging on the family farm to opening her Michelin-starred restaurant, Elizabeth. Her story is alive with startling imagery, raw like that first bite of wild onion, and told with uncommon emotional power. It's a sure bet to be one of the most important new memoirs of 2019.
Regan grew up the youngest of four headstrong girls on a small farm in Northwest Indiana. Even when she was picking raspberries as a toddler still in diapers, Regan understood to pick only the ripe fruit and leave the rest for another day. In the family's leaf-strewn fields, the orange flutes of chanterelles seemed to beckon her, while they eluded others.
Regan has always had an intense, almost otherworldly connection with food and earth. Connecting with people, however, has always been harder. As she learned to cook in the farmhouse, got her first job in a professional kitchen at age 15, taught herself cutting-edge cuisine while running her "new forager" underground supper club, and worked her way from front-of-house staff to running her own kitchen, Regan often felt that she "wasn't made for this world." She was a little girl who longed to be a boy, gay in an intolerant community, an alcoholic before she turned 20, a woman in an industry dominated by men.
Burn the Place will introduce listeners to an important new voice from the American culinary scene, an underrepresented perspective from the professional kitchen, and a young star chef whose prose is as memorable and deserving of praise as her food.

An Entropic Bloom...
Many friends used to ask me why I was so keen on eating at the best, seemingly eccentric, and most innovative restaurants wherever I travel and go. It’s simple... these are my people. The miscreants, misanthropes, agitators, punks, dejected, and pests that breath vivaciousness, squeeze out imagination, and will entropic blooms of ideation into the dull causeways of everyday culture. Iliana is that being. An Algrenian writer who learned how to hone and showcase her creative notions in the chaos of uncertainty, the hot tempered back-and-front rooms of hospitality, and in the face of adversity, self-procured, unsuspected, and self-effacing. This is a memoir that makes me excited to be alive and having failed, awaiting my own success, knowing the long road to achievement is just another road... and that that is achieved is that that is perceived. Her stories and memories are crisp, creeping, and quietly crowing, illuminating and bringing forth the humanity of a budding and soon-to-be star culinary creative. I’m even more excited to eat her dishes now, as I am embarrassed to have run in orbiting social groups of hers with my peers constantly chirping to try out her Eats. If you need a book to reconnect you with your own path and Earthbound anchorage... this is it. Thank you Iliana. Keep Cooking. Stay Creative.

Great book and unique look into a passionate mind
I work in the food industry and enjoy getting a glimpse into the mind of a successful chef who devotes her life and passion into her career, exposing her insides , struggles with identity, and vulnerability for all to see. The stories are raw and real, unfiltered and entertaining, and relatable if you have worked in the business. A great writer. The narrator does a pretty good job also. (a few food terms are mispronounced though ) highly recommend

Lost interest
After she pulls out of alcoholism got a bit boring. I finally quit about hour an half before finishing. I found the cooking descriptions tedious. Just couldn’t keep interested.
