My Opinion:
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
I will start this review off by saying that if you’re a regular here, you know that this book isn’t one of my usual genre preferences. However, When Kuhn reached out to request a review, I knew I had to read it because it sounded really interesting. Plus, I’m a huge foodie and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to read about a chef and his delicious food. Bonus points to Kuhn for putting some recipes at the end of the book!
This book is an account of Kuhn being recruited to be a chef in Antarctica. It includes a details on his travels to get there, what work and every day life was like in Antarctica, and reflections on the whole experience. Plus, like I mentioned above, there are recipes included at the end. I had never really given much thought to what goes on in Antarctica let alone who worked there and that a chef might be part of the crew. I thought it was a really fascinating read and would recommend it to pretty much anyone!
Summary:
Overall, if you like travel, food, reading about cold regions, and especially if you want to know what daily life at a base camp in Antarctica is like, then this book could be for you. Happy reading!
