This is an extraordinary memoir! David Chang may chronically suffer from imposter syndrome, but this free-form reflective book of musings is a work of courage and heart, and leaves me longing for more of this contrarian's paradoxical and optimistic worldview. While the memoir of a man in the culinary industry, Eat a Peach is so much more: meditations on mental illness, intimate reflections on family and shame, indictments of the world of food and the disease of success, and undeniably funny and relatable through it all, David Chang has done something remarkable here.

The founder of Momofuku writes his autobiography with flair, humour, and grace. He gives his background and discusses key moments in his childhood that lead him to the decision to go into cooking as a career. He is open and honest about his lifelong struggles with depression and bipolar disorder. It is interesting reading how his empire began and flourished, in New York, nationally, and globally. Intriguing writing and informative for aspiring chefs and restauranteurs.
