Convictions of a Chef: Cooking for the Counterculture and the One Percent

Convictions of a Chef is a prison memoir, a travel memoir and a chef's memoir all rolled into one. Filled with fascinating and fun anecdotes about overcoming adversity, culinary challenges and health issues, it's the story of how one boy grew into a man in the trenches of a cruel and senseless drug war, and embraced food, music and travel with all that he had.

Gritty, vulnerable and humorous, Chef Evan delves into the ethics of the drug war with the same sense of adventure he uses to embrace culinary, cultural and psychedelic exploration.
