Louisiana Young Readers'' Choice Award Nominee!

Niki Nakayama: A Chef''s Tale in 13 Bites is a picture book biography that tells the story of the powerhouse female Japanese-American chef and her rise to fame

As a child and adult, Niki faced many naysayers in her pursuit of haute cuisine. Using the structure of a traditional kaiseki meal, the authors Debbi Michiko Florence and Jamie Michalak playfully detail Niki''s hunger for success in thirteen bites from wonton wrappers she used to make pizza as a kid to yuzu-tomatillo sauce in her own upscale Los Angeles Michelin-starred restaurant, n/naka.

To anyone who tells her a woman can''t be a master chef, Niki lets her food do the talking. And oh, does it talk. Niki was featured on the first season of Netflix''s culinary documentary series Chef''s Table. And Chrissy Teigen proclaimed that Niki''s restaurant was one of her absolute favorites. She''s currently a featured teacher on MasterClass.
