Download and read online ebook The Convict Chef write by Landrew Smith. This book was released on 1980. The Convict Chef available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "Steak on a shovel, pickled pig skins, and Right and Ready, a potent brew of fruits, bread, sugar and potatoes are just a few of the illegal foods and liquors prepared in jails around the country by hungry convicts, known as bandit cooks. These prisoners work with whatever foods they can pilfer and their ingenuity turns standard prison equipment like boiler room shovels and furnaces, wire coat hangers, tin cans, and toilet paper, into utensils to prepare their creative after-hours food and drink with. ... But cooking is so much more than a formula or routine and Smith communicates this pleasure. his descriptions of superb prison meals he has eaten such as those at Danbury Federal Prison, are mouth-watering, and his own recipes, many devised and named to honor prison personnel , will tantalize the tastebuds (including one recipe for Conquest Chicken that has guaranteed aphrodisiac powers). Menu samples from such notorious jails as San Quentin and Folsom Prison are included, as well as prisoners' favorite recipes. A different kind of cookbook by a chef who has a wide range of experience, and a well-documented study of prison food, The Convict Chef is also an absorbing account, told without bitterness or self-pity, of one man's odyssey through the United States correction system. Spiced with peppery personality studies, as well as piquant recipes including "Lockup Tomato Casserole" and "Larceny Chicken Supreme," this is truly a unique book." --Dust jacket.

Winner of Simon & Schuster’s memoir contest in conjunction with AARP and the Huffington Post, the memoir of a man’s coming-of-age as a civilian cook in a maximum-security prison. In 1973, recent Montana transplant William Bonham desperately needs a job. Hoping to take advantage of his background working in restaurants and diners, he finally comes across a listing for a position offering great money and benefits—at Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge. He takes it. As food service supervisor in the kitchen of the maximum-security prison, Bonham oversees a kitchen crew of convicts that prepares and serves each meal. Among his staff are Earl, a homely baker; Aldrich, a timid young dishwasher; Smoky Boy, the prison’s most feared and respected convict; Mackey, who claims to have cooked at Seattle’s Olympic Hotel in his pre-incarceration life; and Reed, a cook whose calm, witty demeanor wins over Bonham. Over the next year, Bonham comes to care for his crew. Although he knows that these men have committed unforgiveable crimes, Bonham forms a camaraderie with them that borders on friendship—until a late-night incident calls his judgment into question. Told with humor and empathy, A Prisoner in the Kitchen is the redemptive tale of Bonham’s transformation from a bright-eyed optimist who sees the good in everyone to a man who understands and revels in the complexities of human nature.
