The first time culinary student Ron Gaj is instructed to cut up
a whole chicken into precise parts, he confidently moves forward
with the surgical procedure. By the time he has finished the task,
his chicken looks like it has just gone through a wood chipper. And
so begins the zany odyssey of a sexagenarian who has just
mistakenly entered the world of culinary arts thinking the learning
experience will be a culmination of creating elegant fare while
engaging in casual conversation and sipping a glass of wine. He
could not have been more wrong.
Approaching retirement means different things to different
people, but to sixty-something Gaj, who had always loved to cook,
it meant trying something new--culinary school. As he details his
often hilarious journey through the world of culinary arts with a
cast of characters who seemed better groomed for reform school, Gaj
provides a glimpse into how he sharpened his rudimentary cooking
skills through weeks of chopping, dicing, boiling, sauteing, and
participating in the solution of simple math problems that were
treated like quantum physics--ultimately becoming a braver soul in
the kitchen.
Purple Chicken shares one man's entertaining foray into the
often unpredictable world of culinary arts as he learns to produce
delectable creations and discovers the unexpected.
