Anthony Bourdain startede helt fra bunden - som opvasker. En skål kold porresuppe på Queen Mary vækker ham, men det er en rå østers taget lige fra havbunden ved Archachon, der tænder hans lidenskab for mad. Herfra går det slag i slag over Cape Cod til New York og Tokyo, før han til slut havner som chef på Brasserie Les Halles i New York, hvor han stadig huserer. Denne mand ved altså, hvad han taler om. Og han disker i den grad op med afsløringer om branchen: om druk, sex og stoffer, om uappetitlig omgang med fødevarer og om alle tænkelige fejltagelser, man kan begå under opfyldelsen af drømmen om at blive restauratør. Bogen filmatiseres af David Fincher, manden bag Seven og Fight Club. Oversat fra engelsk efter Kitchen Confidential af Susanne Staun

**New for 2021: celebrate the life and legacy of the inimitable food writer with WORLD TRAVEL, Bourdain's guide to the global food scene, compiled by his long-time assistant and cookbook co-author**Brash, wild, original and badass. This is Anthony Bourdain's interpretation of a normal cookbook. As a restaurant professional, Bourdain spent his life on the fringes of normality - he worked while normal people played, and played while normal people slept. Since then he has settled (kind of) into family life and is cooking for the people he loves rather than people who pay. These are the recipes he turns to when called in for pancake service at sleepover parties or when preparing a violence-free family dinner. Each and every word is informed by his years in the industry and a life dedicated to food. This is a man who has declared the club sandwich as America's Enemy and wants you to understand the principles of Bad Sandwich Theory. He has distilled his views on dessert to this: it should always be Stilton.With a striking Ralph Steadman illustration for the cover and photography that somehow manages to be both strangely beautiful and utterly grotesque, this cookbook - Bourdain's first in ten years - is a home-cooking, home-entertaining cookbook like no other.

From the bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential

The New York Times Bestseller The brilliant intellect and candor of Anthony Bourdain is on full display in this collection of interviews from throughout his remarkable career, with an introduction from The New Yorker's Helen Rosner. Anthony Bourdain always downplayed his skills as a chef (many disagreed). But despite his modesty, one thing even he agreed with was that he was a born raconteur-as he makes clear in this collection of sparkling conversations. His wit, passion, and deep intelligence shine through all manner of discussion here, from heart-to-hearts with bloggers, to on-stage talks before massive crowds, to intense interviews with major television programs. Without fail, Bourdain is always blisteringly honest-such as when he talks about his battles with addiction, or when detailing his thoughts on restaurant critics. He regularly dispenses arresting insight about how what's on your plate reveals much of history and politics. And perhaps best of all, the heartfelt empathy he developed travelling the world for his TV shows is always in the fore, as these talks make the "Hemingway of gastronomy," as chef Marco Pierre White called him, live again.

An illustrated, behind-the-scenes travel journal of the beloved chef's global adventures.More than just a companion to the hugely popular Travel Channel show, No Reservations is Bourdain's fully illustrated journal of his far-flung travels. The book traces his trips from New Zealand to New Jersey and everywhere in between, mixing beautiful, never-before-seen photos and mementos with Bourdain's outrageous commentary on what really happens when you give a bad-boy chef an open ticket to the world.Want to know where to get good fatty crab in Rangoon? How to order your reindeer medium rare? How to tell a Frenchman that his baguette is invading your personal space? This is your book. For any Bourdain fan, this is an indispensable opportunity to hit the road with the man himself.

Anthony Bourdain is man of many appetites. And for many years, first as a chef, later as a world-traveling chronicler of food and culture on his CNN series Parts Unknown, he has made a profession of understanding the appetites of others. These days, however, if hes cooking, its for family and friends. Appetites, his first cookbook in more than ten years, boils down forty-plus years of professional cooking and globe-trotting to a tight repertoire of personal favoritesdishes that everyone should (at least in Mr. Bourdains opinion) know how to cook. Once the supposed "bad boy" of cooking, Mr. Bourdain has, in recent years, become the father of a little girla role he has embraced with enthusiasm. After years of traveling more than 200 days a year, he now enjoys entertaining at home. Years of prep lists and the hyper-organization necessary for a restaurant kitchen, however, have caused him, in his words, to have "morphed into a psychotic, anally retentive, bad-tempered Ina Garten." The result is a home-cooking, home-entertaining cookbook like no other, with personal favorites from his own kitchen and from his travels, translated into an effective battle plan that will help you terrify your guests with your breathtaking efficiency.

Seine Hörer lässt er einen unvergesslichen Blick hinter die Küchentür werfen und nimmt sie mit auf eine abenteuerliche, amüsante Reise in die dunklen Gefi lde der kulinarischen Welt.
