A deluxe, annotated edition of Kitchen Confidential to celebrate the life of Anthony Bourdain, featuring new photo inserts
Over two decades ago, the New Yorker published a now infamous article, "Don't Eat Before Reading This," by then little-known chef Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain spared no one's appetite as he revealed what happens behind the kitchen door. The article was a sensation, and the book it spawned, the now iconic Kitchen Confidential, became an even bigger sensation and megabestseller. Frankly confessional, addictively acerbic, and utterly unsparing, Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business.
Fans will love to return to this deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet of wild-but-true tales of life in the culinary trade, laying out Bourdain's more than a quarter-century of drugs, sex, and haute cuisine. Including a handwritten introduction and annotations done by Bourdain about a decade after the book was originally published, this edition also features previously unpublished photos to accompany the now-classic text.
Biography
Der französischstämmige Amerikaner Anthony Bourdain, geboren 1956 in New York, gelang mit seinem autobiografisch durchwirkten Buch Geständnisse eines Küchenchefs ein Welterfolg, seitdem legte er u.a. "Ein Küchenchef reist um die Welt" und "So koche ich" sowie mehrere Kriminalromane vor. Mit drei Jahren konnte er lesen, mit sechs hörte er Miles Davis, mit zwölf rauchte er seinen ersten Joint. Seit seinem 17. Lebensjahr arbeitet Bourdain in der Küche. Er studierte am College von Vassar und absolvierte seine Fachausbildung am Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Rund zehn Jahre lang führte er die Brasserie Les Halles in New York. Seine Fernsehserien A Cook s Tour und "Eine Frage des Geschmacks" fanden in vielen Ländern großen Anklang.
