Marisa’s comfort zone is deep inside the restaurant kitchen alongside
its dysfunctional characters and the abundance of booze and drugs.

But in the nineteen-seventies, girls baked or made salads. The heat and
machismo of the hot line was not a place for a girl with a passion for food
and the drive to be the best.

From Hawaii, to Portland and New Orleans, she struggles  with her own
shyness and the limited expectations for the only female in the kitchen. She
finally becomes Chef, successfully managing high-volume restaurants at three
World’s Fairs, but something is missing.

Still searching, as a burnt-out chef, she embarks on another male-dominated
career.

Mise en Place —Memoir of a Girl Chef is a story about the
determination to succeed in the face of personal handicaps and cultural
norms.

“Mangani charts a deep dive through the roots of our modern American
food obsession with a highly personal tale of memory, character, flavor, and
place.” —Ian McNulty, Food Writer, The Times-Picayune/The New
Orleans Advocate
