In a fast-paced, candid narrative, Buford describes the frenetic experience of working in Babbo’s kitchen: the trials and errors (and more errors), humiliations and hopes, disappointments and triumphs as he worked his way up the ladder from slave to cook. Heat is the chronicle-sharp, funny, wonderfully exuberant-of his time spent as Batali’s “slave” and of his far-flung apprenticeships with culinary masters in Italy. Bill Buford-author of the highly acclaimed best-selling Among the Thugs- had long thought of himself as a reasonably comfortable cook when in 2002 he finally decided to answer a question that had nagged him every time he prepared a meal: What kind of cook could he be if he worked in a professional kitchen? When the opportunity arose to train in the kitchen of Mario Batali’s three-star New York restaurant, Babbo, Buford grabbed it.
