A ';sexy, frank, delectable memoir' (The New York Times) about coming of age in and out of the kitchen, from the anonymous chef and columnist, Slutty Cheff.

';If a twenty-something, British Carrie Bradshaw narrated a London-set Kitchen Confidential, it might read something like Tart.' Shelf Awareness

When Slutty Cheff finds herself bored and fed-up with her 95 job in corporate marketing, she turns to the only thing that she really likes to do: cooking. So she quits her job, swaps emails for emulsions, and sets off to pursue her dreams of becoming a chef.

The world of London's fine dining restaurants is so much more than she imagined: it's more challenging, and more exciting too. There are the exhausting lows of sixty-hour work weeks in windowless kitchens, and the shock of stepping into the changing room as the only woman. There are the thrilling highs of a busy night, when service is running smoothly; electrifying run-ins with hot bartenders and even hotter chefs; and, always, the exhilaration of cycling hands-free through a city that is still sleeping, on a morning where anything can happen.

This is a story about searching for your purpose, and experiencing and embracing life to the fullest along the way. The pleasure and the chaos too

An exquisite mix of raw Anthony Bourdain-style honesty with the sharp wit of Lena Dunham's Girls, Tart is THE book for those who like to eat and f**k.
