Bøger af Anthony Bourdain

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

Anthony Bourdain's long-awaited sequel to Kitchen Confidential, the worldwide bestseller

Intended for the fans of Anthony Bourdain, this is a collection of his journalism. Containing stories from his worldwide misadventures, it talks about scrounging for eel in the backstreets of Hanoi, the unglamorous aspects of making television, calling for the head of raw food activist Woody Harrelson, and confessing to lobster-killing guilt.

In a not-too-distant future of food obsessed LA, where master chefs rule the town like crime lords and people literally kill for a seat at the best restaurant, Jiro, a renegade and ruthless sushi chef, arrives in town with strong ideas of his own.

Medium Raw marks the return of the inimitable Anthony Bourdain, author of the blockbuster bestseller Kitchen Confidential and three-time Emmy Award-nominated host of No Reservations on TVs Travel Channel. Bourdain calls his book, A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook, and he is at his entertaining best as he takes aim at some of the biggest names in the foodie world, including David Chang, Alice Waters, the Top Chef winners and losers, and many more. If Hunter S. Thompson had written a book about the restaurant business, it could have been Medium Raw.

Cambodia, Rusland, Frankrig, Mexico og Portugal i jagten på den perfekte kombination af mad og omgivelser. Oversat fra amerikansk efter A Cook's Tour af Susanne Staun

Seine Reisen fuhrten den Spitzenkoch und Gourmet von seiner Heimatstadt New York in die aufregendsten und entlegensten Winkel dieser Erde: nach Borneo in ein Holz-Langhaus mit traditioneller Stammes-Bemalung, in die betorenden Feucht- und Trockensavannnen Tansanias, in die Einsamkeit von Omans "e;Leerem Viertel"e;, dem groten Sandmeer der Welt - und vielen weiteren Traumorten und pulsierenden Metropolen. In diesem postum veroffentlichten Werk versammelt Anthony Bourdain seinen mehr als reichen Reise-Erfahrungsschatz und liefert eine gleichermaen geistreiche wie praktische Gebrauchsanweisung fur die ganz personlichen Lieblingsorte des Kuchenchefs. Ein faszinierender und inspirierender Reisefuhrer, inklusive kulinarischer Empfehlungen!

Montags keine Meeresfrüchte! Das ist noch eine der harmloseren Gefahren, auf die Anthony Bourdain in seinen gnadenlosen, abgründig witzigen Memoiren hinweist. Von der Strandkneipe bis zum Nobelrestaurant hat er alles durchlebt, was diese wahrhaft heiße Szene zu bieten hat. 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.

Ten slices from the life of Bobby Gold: by night, the security chief of a mobbed-up New York City nightclub, by day, a reluctant bonebreaker and enforcer for Eddie Fish - his old college roommate, and best friend. Emerging from the 'gladiator school' environment of an upstate prison with an imposing physique and a reputation for skilled brutality, Bobby's a lonely, guilt-ridden child inside a hulking body. He views the grim work of coercion, assault and even murder as jobs to be done with a craftsman's work ethic and with a minimum of force. However, the technician's pride in a job done well is failing him, his friend and protector Eddie is getting flakier and flakier and worst of all, he's falling in love with Nicole, a reckless and self-destructive female line-cook who"e;s been around the block a few times. Following on from his two superb novels, Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo, Anthony Bourdain has produced another stunning book of crime fiction.

All is not well at the Dreadnought Grill. The chef has a smack habit, the owner has been set up by the FBI and in the midst of this, the sous-chef Tommy is just trying to do his job. As depraved as it is hilarious, Anthony Bourdain's first novel is street smart and spiced with drugged-up savvy, foul-mouthed feds and salty mob speak. With a cast of unforgettables like the hitman who covers himself in clingfilm to avoid leaving fingerprints and a plot with more twists than a plate of spaghetti, Bone in the Throat rocks through the streets of Manhattan at a blistering pace.

Welcome to the retirement home of Henry and Frances, ex-New Yorkers and professional assassins: a luxury hotel suite in an idyllic, tequila-drenched Caribbean hideaway. It's supposed to be all cocktails and sex on the beach. But when a job icing a Mafioso godfather goes awry, trouble hits paradise . . . in the form of a cross-dressing capo, a debauched Irish hard man and a slew of incompetent but vicious US marshals.
