Book Log 2010 #5: Knives at Dawn by Andrew Friedman

Very enjoyable look at what goes into being a competition in the Bocuse d'Or, probably the preeminent cooking competition in the world. The book follows the US entrant for the 2008 competition, who faced many of the obstacles of previous US competitors (lack of time and focus on the competition), but also had the (sometimes) benefit of a new support system championed by some legendary chefs. Very much worth the read if you're into food and/or food competition.
