    grant achatz always knew he wanted to cook. Nick Kokokas wanted to make good money so did and then was looking for a project. The combination produced Alinea, one of the world's best restaurants. And then Grant got very ill - what is the worst thing that could happen to a chef? Not being able to taste food. A memoir written in two voices - the story of friendship and food, family and conflict and even how to build a car. A delight (for the foodies: see the blog alineaathome.com)
