Synopsis

Sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way we expect… “The (Faux) Pastry Chef: How I Found My Baking Fix” is a story of re-invention, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles. It’s also an insider’s look at the commercial preparation of food. The book covers a ten year period when the author faced a series of challenges that forced her to find a new career and new self-concept. This memoir is a fresh perspective told in a blunt, passionate, funny, opinionated voice. It has a unique, often humorous tone, making this an engaging mix of part tell-all memoir and part food industry professional who deals with crazy systems and dysfunctional personalities. The narrative arc is a combination of concurrent stories – a pastry chef’s passion for baking, a glimpse behind the scenes in a variety of commercial kitchens, a look at the not-so-smart corporate world, the story of an injury and subsequent surgeries, and the venture into a new career path. It’s the story of how Ms. Fix created Baking Fix and how she came to write “Start & Run a Home-Based Food Business” and “Home Baking for Profit.”
