"The book opens in an orphanage near Paris, and from the very first sentence to its powerful end, the chef spins a fascinating, tumultuous and ultimately triumphant tale. Brava Dominique!" -- Ruth Reichl , author of Save Me the Plums "Dominique Crenn is a hero to so many of us, both inside and out of the restaurant industry. She has unlimited courage to always follow her own path, to carve her own way in the world. This book, and Dominique''s whole life, show that everything and anything is possible if you believe in yourself and you keep pushing forward, always forward. Dominique represents the very best that chefs can be ... her mentorship, her creativity, her endless humanity are where we should all find inspiration for the future." --José Andrés, chef/owner of ThinkFoodGroup and founder of World Central Kitchen "Unlike those of us chefs who came meekly into the world of professional kitchens, blinking and panicked, Dominique Crenn appeared self-possessed, knives drawn, skewering her way to a career that exhaust''s all superlatives. In Rebel Chef , she is as original and disarming on the page as she is behind the stove. This is a fascinating tale of an extraordinary half-life." --Dan Barber, chef and co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and author of The Third Plate "Chef Dominique Crenn is a trailblazer and by far one of the best chefs in the world. Her stories are truly an inspiration. In Rebel Chef , Crenn gives you a little taste of what her journey was like in the culinary space. Keep inspiring us with your work, Chef!"-- Marcus Samuelsson, chef and restaurateur of Red Rooster Harlem "Chef Dominque Crenn is known for combining flavors and re-contextualizing ingredients to tell stories on the plate. In Rebel Chef , she embarks on a different form of narrative and shares the story of her life. It''s a tale of resilience and self-agency, a memoir that underscores the value of perspective. It celebrates the virtue of seeing challenges as opportunities and failures as a chance to learn. Perhaps more than anything, this compelling book reveals its subject as a generous and adventurous spirt, a woman who has learned to embrace the unexpected and to treasure life, in the kitchen and beyond, as an enriching and largely unplanned journey." --Thomas Keller, chef/proprietor of The French Laundry "A captivating life story of one of today''s most influential chefs. Dominique is a force and true inspiration." --Eric Ripert, chef and co-owner of Le Bernardin "Dominique Crenn is one of the most creative and thoughtful people I know in the food world, and her memoir is everything I''d hoped for: a candid account of her evolution from French orphan to nine-year-old family cook to history-making chef - and outspoken advocate for change in her profession and beyond."-- Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking and Keys to Good Cooking "Add the indomitable Dominque Crenn to the list of modern day big thinkers and life coaches. Her story is nothing short of remarkable. A chef, poet, artist, anarchist, activist, a mother, a daughter...the wisdom that jumps off every page makes me so grateful to call this beautiful human being my friend. When every opportunity in life inspires a question and then an adventure, when problems become invitations, when success is measured by the love in one''s life you have just a hint at what is unveiled one page at a time in this must read autobiography." -- Andrew Zimmern "The road to becoming a chef is not just about ingredients and techniques but even more about finding one''s voice. Rebel Chef tells the tale of a young woman on her reach for identity through food, community, and love. Thank you, Dominique, for sharing." --Massimo Bottura, chef and owner of Osteria Francescana

Synopsis
The inspiring and deeply personal memoir from highly acclaimed chef Dominique Crenn When Dominique Crenn was awarded three Michelin Stars in 2018 for her influential San Francisco restaurant Atelier Crenn, she became the first female chef in the United States to receive this highly coveted honor. As the first female chef in the United States to receive any stars from the prestigious Michelin restaurant guide, she had previously made waves as the first female executive chef in Indonesia. These were no small feats for someone who hadn't gone to culinary school or been formally trained in French kitchens. In Rebel Chef , Crenn reflects on her untraditional coming of age as a chef, beginning with her happy childhood in Versailles where, as the adopted daughter of a politician, she was emboldened to be curious and independent, and to find her own voice. She was exposed to fine dining from a young age, and a family friend, a restaurant critic, encouraged her to see the story behind the food. But at 21, after deciding to become a chef, Crenn found it to be a near impossible dream in France, where men dominated the kitchens. Never one to be told no, she moved to San Francisco to work under the legendary Jeremiah Tower. It was there that her training began. But there is another reason Crenn has always felt free to pursue her own unconventional course. Adopted as a toddler, she didn't resemble her parents, or even look traditionally French. Growing up she often felt like an outsider, and was haunted by a past she knew nothing about. But after years of working to fill this blank space, Crenn recognized this duality as a source of strength, one which gives her the power to be whoever she wants to be. Filled with stories from the years Crenn spent working in the male-centric world of professional kitchens, tracking her career from struggling cook to being named the World's Best Female Chef, starring on Netflix's "Chef's Table," and running one the world's most acclaimed restaurants - while at the same time speaking out on restaurant culture, sexism, immigration, and climate change - Rebel Chef is a disarmingly honest and revealing look at one woman's evolution from a daring young chef to a respected activist. At once a tale of personal discovery and a tribute to unrelenting determination, Rebel Chef is the story of one woman making a place for herself in the kitchen, and in the world., In Rebel Chef, three-Michelin starred chef Dominique Crenn reflects on her untraditional coming of age as a chef, from her life in France where she found it near impossible to be a female chef in a male dominated world, to her move to San Francisco where she started training to become the chef she is today.
