TITLE: Your Table is Ready
AUTHOR: Michael Cecchi-Azzolina
GENRE: Non fiction
RATING: 4 stars
I love these juicy, behind the scene looks, especially if they are restaurant tales and involve food, although the food takes a definite back seat to all the characters who walked through the doors of that restaurant.
I have always thought working in the food industry must be really difficult. The good, the bad and the ugly on a daily basis and Michael pretty much confirms all my preconceived ideas.
The author writes his memoir with an open heart and gives us a true insider's world that melds royalty, the rich, the bad and the average guest all of whom give the author a story to tell.
Pacing is excellent and I keep expecting the author to whisper to me "come here girl, I have so much juicy gossip for you".
As far as I am concerned pacing is EVERYTHING, but if you don't have a flair for telling your story, the book will go nowhere. NOT the case here.
Thank you to the author as well for writing such an interesting book.
