Hungry: Eating, Road-Tripping, and Risking It All with the Greatest Chef in the World

A food critic chronicles four years spent traveling with RenÃ© Redzepi, the renowned chef of Noma,Â in search of the most tantalizing flavors the world has to offer.
Â
â€œIf you want to understand modern restaurant culture, you need to read this book.â€â€”Ruth Reichl, author ofÂ Save Me the Plums
Â
HungryÂ is a book about not only the hunger for food, but for risk, for reinvention, for creative breakthroughs, and for connection. Feeling stuck in his work and home life, writer Jeff Gordinier happened into a fateful meeting with Danish chef RenÃ© Redzepi, whose restaurant, Noma, has been called the best in the world. A restless perfectionist, Redzepi was at the top of his game but was looking to tear it all down, to shutter his restaurant and set out for new places, flavors, and recipes.
Â
This is the story of the subsequent four years of globe-trotting culinary adventure, with Gordinier joining Redzepi as his Sancho Panza. In the jungle of the YucatÃ¡n peninsula, Redzepi and his comrades go off-road in search of the perfect taco. In Sydney, they forage for sea rocket and sandpaper figs in suburban parks and on surf-lashed beaches. On a boat in the Arctic Circle, a lone fisherman guides them to what may or may not be his secret cache of the worldâ€™s finest sea urchins. And back in Copenhagen, the quiet canal-lined city where Redzepi started it all, he plans the resurrection of his restaurant on the unlikely site of a garbage-filled lot. Along the way, readers meet Redzepiâ€™s merry band of friends and collaborators, including acclaimed chefs such as Danny Bowien, Kylie Kwong, Rosio SÃ¡nchez, David Chang, and Enrique Olvera.
Â
HungryÂ is a memoir, a travelogue, a portrait of a chef, and a chronicle of the moment when daredevil cooking became the most exciting and groundbreaking form of artistry.

Praise for Hungry

â€œInÂ Hungry,Â Gordinier invokes such playful and lush prose that the scents of mole, chiles and even lingonberry juice waft off the page.â€â€”Time

â€œThis wonderful book is really about the adventures ofÂ twoÂ men: a great chef and a great journalist.Â HungryÂ is a feast for the senses, filled with complex passion and joy, bursting with life. Not only did Jeff Gordinier make me want to jump on the next flight (to Mexico, Copenhagen, Sydney) in search of the perfect meal, but he also reminded me to stop and savor the ride.â€â€”Dani Shapiro, author ofÂ Inheritance
