"Behind Their Brand" is a book that is long overdue.

The chefs in this book are those who have boldly and vulnerably ventured into the world of entrepreneurship and have built a successful brand from scratch.While all of the chefs in this book are complete foodies, you won't find recipes, step-by-step processes on how to make the perfect creme brulee or what brand of knives they use to get the juiciest cuts of meat. Instead, you will find a group of chefs who have something bigger to share. Each chef will share their story of trials and tribulations, triumphs and victories that have weaved the path to growing a successful culinary business.Have you ever wondered what it would be like to own a bakery or catering company?

I know you will find someone in this book that is just like you. Every chef in this book has stepped through fear and doubt and have had to overcome obstacles along the way. I think they all share one hope for you.
