The blog of a woman in her late twenties, who works in the webtech industry, is friends with the chef of a well-known, swank Italian restaurant in the city. She has no formal training, but cooks for friends, and wants to know if she should take the plunge and put a career-change leap into her life. So she convinces him to let her work in the kitchen. She does so, 2 nights a week, after work for about a year.

No, she's not me. I sat down and read this through, from the beginning, this weekend. Envious? You bet. A great read - give it a few cups of coffee and an hour or two.
