Description
A candid memoir of a chef’s meteoric rise, Eat a Peach traces David Chang’s journey from uncertain beginnings to culinary stardom, marked by bold experimentation, lucky breaks, relentless ambition, and profound personal struggle. Alongside the exhilaration of creative success, Chang confronts bipolar disorder, depression, anger, suicidal thoughts, and the difficult work of maintaining relationships, mental health, and a sense of balance. Raw, self-critical, and deeply reflective, the book explores the costs of innovation, the burden of expectation, and the difference between achievement and fulfillment. It is ultimately an honest portrait of a flawed, driven individual learning to reckon with his past and imagine what to do with the fruits of his labor.
