Too Many Cooks D Lam

When burned out TV producer Adam Zi loses his job after corporate media downsizing, he decides to change his life by going back to school--cooking school.

Faster than you can make instant ramen, Adam lands waist deep in a thick stew of competitive corporate dropouts, disgruntled blue-collar workers and oddball drifters with delusions of cooking grandeur. Jostling for counter space with eccentric Julia, Jamie, Padma, Gordon and Nigella wannabes trying to reinvent themselves as the next Iron Chef, Adam tumbles into a raunchy affair with an ER doctor who is also in reset mode after being busted for overprescribing meds to herself.

In and out of chef 's whites, Adam soon discovers that starting over won't be as simple as following a recipe.

Too Many Cooks is an irreverent riff on what happens at a second tier school where those who can't afford the Ivy League tuition of the Culinary Institute of America or Le Cordon Bleu enroll in an off-brand, hoping to survive French cooking boot camp and get their messed up lives back on track.
