By the time he has finished the task, his chicken looks like it has just gone through a wood chipper.

He could not have been more wrong.

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, sauting, and participating in the solution of simple math problems that were treated like quantum physicsultimately becoming a braver soul in the kitchen.
