#Aprella #BusyEarning 🥄Catching up on yesterday's challenge. Finished the audiobook today & like Eric Ripert even more. A difficult upbringing with the death of his father, an abusive stepfather, & other hardships-but he found solace & purpose in his passion for food. Great stories about his growth as a cook & time working the line, Ripert was busy learning & earning from a young age. I hope there's a 2nd book as he's got more story to tell.👨🍳
