Marcus Samuelsson

A Memoir

Yes, Chef

The Top Chef: Masters winner and James Beard Award-winning proprietor of Harlem's Red Rooster traces his Ethiopian birth, upbringing by an adoptive family in Sweden and rise to a famous New York chef, sharing personal insights into his challenges as a black man in a deeply prejudiced industry. 40,000 first printing.

Jeannette Ordas

A really enjoyable read - especially the first half of the book. He's really honest about his mistakes and details the racism takes place in restaurant kitchens around the world. The last chapter seemed a bit tacked on and hurried, but it's a great memoir.

Michael Hessling

This was OK; a bit poorly organized. Also not sure why I had this autobiography in my stack; must have been put there before I became more interested in baking vs. cooking. Samuelsson is great--I like him a lot, and this book didn't change that. But you can maybe just read his wikipedia page and get most of the same information.
