The celebrated chef behind Momofuku and star of Netflix's Ugly Delicious gets uncomfortably real in his debut memoir.

The celebrated chef behind Momofuku and star of Netflix's Ugly Delicious gets uncomfortably real in his New York Times bestselling memoir.

In 2004, Momofuku Noodle Bar opened in Manhattan's East Village.

Its young chef-owner, David Chang, served ramen and pork buns to a mix of fellow restaurant cooks and confused diners whose idea of ramen was instant noodles in Styrofoam cups.

Eat a Peach chronicles Chang's journey to becoming one of the most influential chefs of his generation. Laying bare his mistakes and feelings of otherness and inadequacy, Chang gives us a penetrating look at restaurant life...

'Full of humour and honesty, it provides nourishment and a sense of solidarity' New York Times

For fans of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and Nigel Slater's Toast

Recommended by Sarah

Sarah is the fiction buyer at Boffins and has a penchant for writing that is incisive and challenging, bonus points for complicated characters. Trained as a chef, Sarah enjoys all things food- be it a beautifully laid out cookbook, a crop of broad beans in her garden, or a holiday planned entirely around where to eat. When she’s not barracking for the Dockers or walking her dogs, she enjoys endlessly searching for Perth’s best coffee.

So much more than a cheffy culinary memoir! David talks openly and at length about his struggles with mental health and the pressures from a domineering father. A great gift for anyone trying to balance creativity and artistic integrity with career success. You will want noodles afterward.
