Synopsis

Jeremy King is one of the world’s leading restaurateurs. In this brilliant new book he shares wit and wisdom from his 40-year career and gives us deep insight into some of life’s most intriguing issues.

Food for Thought offers a series of life lessons which are applicable to all, based on Jeremy King’s own illustrious career and a belief that everything we need to know about life can be learned through restaurants and hospitality.

From Altruism to Decision-making, and from Mentoring to Delegation, Jeremy covers a fascinating range of topics, all elaborated with witty anecdotes and sharp analysis.

With a dazzling cast of characters, including Lauren Bacall, Princess Diana, Madonna and Lucien Freud, Food for Thought will appeal to the leadership and business market as well as to the general reader looking for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of an extraordinary world.
