Chef’s Tales (Signed copy)

Leaving behind roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, the grey skies of northern England and his beloved Leeds United football team, a skinny young Yorkshire lad, named Michael Saxon, acquired his vocational skills in cooking, and went on to become an internationally-rated executive chef in the five-star hotel industry. In the process he virtually travelled the world - from Europe to North America and the Caribbean, from Hong Kong to China and Indonesia, and other destinations beyond - mastering his culinary skills, and at the same time engaging life's colourful characters and surviving an endless stream of adventures, both in the kitchen and the world outside.

Follow Michael Saxon as he crosses both national and cultural borders in the pursuit of his lifelong vocation.

This is a travel book, a personal memoir, a career guide and a cross-cultural communication resource all rolled into one. To put it quite simply, it's a darn good read.
