Work Clean: The Life-Changing Power of Mise-En-Place to Organize Your Life, Work and Mind

Night after night, chefs and their crews are able to multi task and produce in a way that puts deskbound workers to shame. In Work Clean, Dan Charnas uncovers their secret: mise-en-place – the organizational system that transforms the lives of its practitioners through focus and self-discipline. Through interviews with top chefs working in professional kitchens all over the world, culinary students, line cooks and restaurant employees, Charnas reveals the ten major principles of mise-en-place – including `Arranging spaces`, `Finishing actions` and `Slowing Down to Speed Up` – and demonstrates how they can be used to boost productivity in all aspects of life.
