Mountain Chef: How One Man Lost His Groceries, Changed His Plans, and Helped Cook Up the National Park Service by Annette Bay Pimentel
4.0
Tie Sing was considered to be the best trail cook in California in the early 1900s, and this wonderful book is a sweet and factual introduction to his life and legacy.
The story is skillfully told, and the illustrations match the theme of the time and the story. Included after the story are pages of biographical information about Tie Sing and some of the people that he cooked for, who helped persuade congress to create the National Park Service.
The only issue at present is the small, slightly illegible font used in the book, though since this is an advanced copy, that may change before publication. Highly recommended for all ages, although it is intended for children.
