This project was inspired by my first Wild Book, in which I sewed thin layers of driftwood onto the paper. The combination of rubber-stamped pictures, copper sheeting, and stitching gives this book a unique feel. It suggests the craziness that can be found in professional kitchens and restaurants during the peak hour of business. When I was working in Europe as a professional chef and later as a head-server, there were times when walking into the kitchen felt just like the look of these pages. Still—even though knives are swirling through the air—there is a lightness and playfulness that you will always find in the back of the house of well-run operations with great people around who love their job and who just want to create the most delicious fusion of flavors for their guests’ palette. The pictures are rather random to make this wild book even wilder.
