She left her home and everything she knew to move to San Francisco, and almost thirty years later was awarded three Michelin stars in 2018 for her influential restaurant Atelier Crenn, the first female chef in the United States to receive this honor--no small feat for someone who hadn't been formally trained. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Rebel Chef\u003c\/i\u003e, Crenn tells of her untraditional coming-of-age as a chef. Adopted as a toddler, she didn't resemble her parents, and was haunted by a past she knew nothing about. But after years of working to fill this blank space, Crenn embraced the power her history gave her to be whoever she wants to be. In this disarmingly honest look at one woman's evolution from a daring young chef to a respected activist, Crenn reflects on the years she spent working in the male-centric world of professional kitchens and tracks her career from struggling cook to running one of the world's most celebrated restaurants. At once a tale of personal discovery and a tribute to unrelenting determination, \u003ci\u003eRebel Chef\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of one woman making a place for herself in the kitchen, and in the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDominique Crenn is the chef\/owner of Atelier Crenn, Petit Crenn, and Bar Crenn.
