Notes from a Young Black Chef is Kwame Onwuachi's memoir about his turbulent journey from a tough Bronx upbringing, including selling candy and dealing with abuse, to becoming a celebrated chef, highlighting how food connected him to his Nigerian roots, his mother's catering, and his identity, all while confronting racism and navigating the challenges of opening restaurants and finding his place in the culinary world. It's a story of hustle, identity struggles, chasing dreams against odds, and the intersection of race, family, and ambition in fine dining.
