I was a chef for 10 years, worked overseas in Europe, and a graduate of Johnson & Wales University. Many years ago I left the business and really have no use for these books, and am willing to let them go, despite the sentimental value, I'd rather not have a daily reminder of past projects, to make it easier to look to the future. Many of these books are personally autographed from Charlie Trotter, Emeril Lagasse, Jean-Pierre Brehier.  Don't let this once in a lifetime opportunity pass you by! This could be the perfect holiday, forever cherished gift, to an aspirant chef/culinary student! :) Original retail value over $1,200, willing to let go for $499 Shipping weight is 76#,  (will take at least 2 boxes) eBay only allows 70# shipping for Media Mail, so you are getting a small discount, even though I will pay for 76#. Willing to consider local pickup in Orlando, FL. The books are in good condition and ready for a new home, for someone who is very passionate about their career in the restaurant industry.
