For the Love of Cooking is a fascinating memoir, based on a series of interviews between Chef Tao and poet, Carmen Bardeguez-Brown, and includes some of his most notable recipes for Thai Cuisine. "For the Love of Cooking made me think of when I longed to break from tradition, only to return. Chef Tao revisits his journey from street fighter to world-renowned chef, how his heritage and the Buddhist teachings helped him to find his purpose after a brush with death: to share the culinary wonders of Thailand with the world, from Miami to Dubai and back. A profound story."Charlie VázquezArts Innovation ConsultantCharlievazquez.com
