FREE: All or Nothing: One Chef's Appetite for the Extreme by Jesse Schenker | NonFic Book | FREE Shipping!

Well, I was hoping Listians could read the description of the book from the photos, but I guess it isn't close-up enough. Sorry!

In a synopsis, Amazon.com says that it is a "culinary memoir that illuminates the highs and lows of addiction, anxiety, and ambition in the world of haute cuisine."

Amazon.com also sums up the inside flaps that are shown in my pictures:

"Thirty-one-year-old Jesse Schenker has rocketed to the top of the culinary world. An Iron Chef winner and James Beard nominee, he was voted Best New Chef by New York Magazine, and his acclaimed Recette was named Best New Restaurant by the New York Times. But Jesse’s epic rise masks a little-known past filled with demons and obsession, genius and mania.

Growing up in wealthy suburban Florida, Jesse was introduced to the culinary world—and the world of hard drugs. Becoming a high-school dropout addicted to heroin and crack, he was alienated from his family and wanted by the cops. By twenty-one, he had robbed, cheated, and lied to everyone in his life—and had overdosed, been shot at and nearly beaten to death. His eventual arrest motivated him to get clean.

Jesse learned to channel his obsessiveness and need to get ever “higher” into his career. But his growing success fueled his anxiety, leading to panic attacks and hypochondria. In this startling and down to earth memoir, Jesse lays it all on the table for the first time, reflecting on his insatiable appetite for the extreme—which has led to his biggest triumphs and failures—and shares the shocking story of his turbulent life."

It sounds like a REALLY interesting book, but I prefer to read on a tablet or computer, instead of a physical book. Plus, I work full-time and go to school part-time. I just don't have any time for leisure reading these days. :(

Thank you for your question! I sure hope this helps! :)

Thank you!! I've fanned you back! :)
