After leaving a career in the insurance industry and then one in massage therapy, Ryan Kurr decides to follow his dream of becoming a Pastry Chef. As Ryan whisks his way through some of Chicago’s most acclaimed restaurants with notoriously difficult, award-winning chefs at the helm, he learns an important recipe for self-worth and balance that includes ingredients that are both sweet and savory.
After graduating from pastry school, he began trial days in kitchens, quickly learning the pace was lightning-quick and strenuous. He struggled with his own intense anxieties and sensory overloads as he became acclimated to the industry. After landing his dream job at a famous pastry-driven restaurant, owned and operated by a recent James Beard Award winner, he struggled to keep up, stay alive and pay rent. Surrounded by adrenalized mania, and gargantuan egos, he began to question the structure of the culinary world, his skill and his dream. In turn, he then analyzed what it truly means to be successful.
Sugar Burn is Kurr's detailed and truthful look into the world of professional pastry kitchens and all its pleasures and idiosyncrasies.
Sugar Burn The Not so Hot Side of the Sweet Kitchen eBook Ryan Kurr
As a gay man growing in France and working in a kitchen, I've always wondered if the physical and mental abuse was always a normal thing. From being humiliated in front of my colleagues to getting hit in the back with a sauce pan and working 12 hours a day for $8/hr. I'm glad to see that America is on the same train!Why are a lot of talented chefs completely insane? Is it the passion that drown their compassion and sympathy? Do the long hours transform them into cursing machine?
I'm glad someone is finally pointing a finger to this masquerade.
It was a great book. The author, though very sensitive sometime, shows a real passion for an industry that is still being taught like its 1920.
Get your hands on it and enjoy.

Sugar Burn The Not so Hot Side of the Sweet Kitchen eBook Ryan Kurr Reviews
Great read on the sweet and sometimes dirty underbelly of working in the food industry. Kurr has quite the interesting background and does a great job of giving 'food outsiders' a real look at the hard work, drama, and politics of the restaurant industry. I skipped some of the long passages of dialogue as it can get a bit tedious to read, but overall a very fun, entertaining and informative read!
Ryan's literary work illustrates the intensity that exists in the culinary world - with the pastry kitchen as no exception. Through his personal experiences he has captured the insanity, intensity and all-out madness that drives this ego-driven industry. Sugar Burn is an adventurous read for any foodie and a necessary field manual for those about to enter the professional kitchen. I couldn't put it down!!
Well written, and I learned more than I ever wanted to know about the life of somebody working in a professional kitchen.
Simply honest and real. I love how he describes his experiences. More so, I love how each experience did not sour him from taking on another challenge. He paints such a sincere picture of how professional kitchens are and how unglamorous it really is. Still...his passion and determination keeps him going. Everyone in the industry should have a copy of this. I'm sure we can all relate to some of these humbling moments.
Welp. None of my laundry got done, nor did the vacuuming, but I would say it was a day better spent. I could not put this memoir down. It is a very fresh perspective on the culinary world, ripe with bittersweet humor and vibrant characters. Kurr's writing style is smooth, honest, and effortless, and I look forward to reading more from him in the future.
For anyone interested in what it is really like in the kitchen, particularly a pastry kitchen, or anyone who wants something fun, eye opening and new to read, I highly suggest Sugar Burn.
