Summary
"Before Chef Aarón Sánchez was an award-winning chef and television personality, he was a restless Mexican American kid, torn between life in two cities and driven by a passion that often turned rebellious. In this gripping memoir, Sánchez delves into his formative years with remarkable candor, injecting his story with adrenaline and revealing how he fell in love with fast-paced cooking culinary world. Sanchez draws strength from hard-won lessons and embraces the challenge and responsibility of being a role model for Latinos in food. Where I come from offers an intimate look into the life of a chef whose talent and passion have taken him to the top of his profession."--, Page [4] of cover
