I'm Not High-Maintenance (As Long As Everything's Perfect): A Chef's Diary - 30 Years of Cooking, Kitchens, and Chaos
After three decades cooking inside private homes for families, celebrities, and the gloriously unmanageable, Chef Matthew Gladstone finally steps out from behind the stove - and tells the truth.
This isn't a recipe collection. It's a sharp, funny, unfiltered look behind the stainless-steel curtain - the egos, the disasters, the burn marks, and the rare nights when everything goes right.
From San Diego to Los Angeles to Baltimore, from the chaos of service to the strange calm of perfection, Gladstone writes with the voice of a private chef who's seen it all and somehow kept his humor intact.
I'm Not High-Maintenance (As Long As Everything's Perfect) is a memoir about food, control, and the beautiful madness of a life spent chasing perfection one plate at a time.
