Quemé el Risotto y otros desastres culinarios: Confesiones de un chef de los 50 Best Restaurants no es un libro de recetas ni un manual serio de alta cocina.

Si quieres saber qué pasa realmente en la alta gastronomía —sin filtros ni postureos—, prepárate para reír, sorprenderte y, sobre todo, entender que detrás de cada plato hay un mundo lleno de desastres, creatividad y, sí, mucho corazón.

Have you ever wondered why everyone talks about mental health as if it were a trend, but no one gives you a day off to go to therapy? This book is the companion you need to navigate the jungle of anxiety, burnout, and the "good intentions" of your social circle. Through a sharp, sarcastic, and above all, honest tone, Ay, Mi Salud Mental!

If you're tired of easy answers and prefer a touch of humor amidst the chaos, here you'll find a respite. Because if you don't laugh, you simply cry... and mascara is not crisis-proof.

¿Alguna vez has sentido que tu reloj te juzga en silencio? ¿Te ha parecido que tu despertador sufre cada vez que le das al botón de “posponer”? ¿Has notado que el reloj de tu cocina parece más nervioso que tú cuando cocinas arroz? Este no es un libro sobre cómo gestionar tu tiempo. Es un libro sobre cómo los relojes gestionan su trauma. Un ensayo absurdo, divertido y completamente innecesario sobre los miedos, ansiedades, dilemas existenciales y berrinches silenciosos de esos aparatos que viven encadenados al tic-tac eterno. Dentro encontrarás: * Relojes que van a terapia. * Segunderos con trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo. * Big Ben con burnout laboral. * Relojes de arena que meditan sobre su inevitable vaciado. * Y hasta un reloj que se atrasó a propósito... solo para ver si alguien lo notaba. Advertencia: Este libro no cambiará tu vida. Pero puede que la de tu reloj sí. Después de leerlo, puede que empieces a ponerlos en hora... con cariño. “Una obra tan inútil como brillante. Relojes de todo el mundo ya lo odian por decir la verdad.” — Revista “Tic-Tac Today” “No sabía que podía sentir lástima por un reloj de microondas. Ahora lloro cada vez que caliento pizza.” — Una lectora confundida
