<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Alive with the energy of street life, the sober reality of prison, and the visceral thrill of being inside the fast-paced kitchens of great restaurants, "Cooked" is an extraordinary memoir that chronicles a gifted man's against-the-odds journey of second chances.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>By twenty-one, Jeff Henderson was making up to $35,000 a week cooking and selling crack cocaine. By twenty-four, he had been sentenced to nineteen and a half years in prison on federal drug trafficking charges. It was an all-too-familiar story for a young man raised on the streets of South Central LA. But what happened next wasn't.</p><p>Once inside prison, Jeff Henderson worked his way up from dishwasher to chief prison cook, and when he was released in 1996, he had found his passion and his dream--he would become a professional chef. Barely five years out of federal prison, he was on his way to becoming an executive chef, as well as being a sought-after public speaker on human potential and a dedicated mentor to at-risk youth. A window into the streets and the fast-paced kitchens of world-renowned restaurants, <em>Cooked</em> is a very human story with a powerful message of commitment, redemption, and change.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] harrowing journey toward a life as a high-profile Las Vegas chef."--<em>USA Today</em><br><br>"From hustler to high cuisine. . . . a gritty memoir."--<em>People</em><br><br>"[A] raw, behind-the-scenes look at life in commercial kitchens [and] a personal story of redemption."--Flint Journal<br><br>"A really remarkable success story"--Oprah Winfrey, The Oprah Winfrey Show<br><br>"A well-told redemptive story ... Henderson's book details one brother's determination to beat the odds and live his dream."--Essence<br>
