Anthony Bourdain

Legendary chef Anthony Bourdain's crude culinary noir classic. When up-and-coming chef Tommy Pagana settles for a less than glamorous stint at his uncle's failing restaurant in Little Italy, he unwittingly finds himself a partner in big-time crime. Between the chef's smack habit and a murder in the kitchen, Tommy finds that nothing he learned at culinary school has prepared him for what happens next. Charcoal-black and gloriously entertaining, Bone in the Throat is a thrilling Mafia caper that slices open the criminal underbelly of New York City's restaurant scene - and serves it up raw.

'This compilation shows he was so much more than the sum of his television work' Spectator The definitive, career-spanning collection of writing from Anthony Bourdain, including unpublished and never-before-seen material, with an Introduction by Patrick Radden Keefe. Anthony Bourdain represented many things to many people - and he had many sides. But no part of his identity was more important to him than that of a writer; it was one of the central ways he saw himself. Revealing Anthony Bourdain's observant, curious and hungry mind, The Anthony Bourdain Reader is a collection of Bourdain's best writing and touches on his many pursuits and passions, from restaurant life to family life to the 'low life', from TV to travel through places like Vietnam, Buenos Aires, Paris and Shanghai. With pointed opinions on the specific use of brioche buns, the devastation of Western foreign policy and the pain and pleasure of hot pot, this new collection encapsulates the unique brilliance of a once-in-a-generation mind and one of our most distinctive writers. After Bourdain's years of travelling the globe in search of the very best of cuisine and culture, The Anthony Bourdain Reader is a testament to the enduring and singular voice he crafted, with eclectic and curated chapters, including visceral graphic novel excerpts, some of his most well-loved recipes and never-before-published pieces. Edited by Bourdain's long-time agent and friend Kimberly Witherspoon, and with a new Foreword by Patrick Radden Keefe, this is an essential reader for any Bourdain fan as well as a vivid and moving recollection of his life and legacy.

Globally beloved chef Anthony Bourdain’s bestselling classic – the hearty, delicious recipes and provocative tricks of the trade from his famed French brasserie where he made his name. Before stunning the world with his bestselling Kitchen Confidential, and hit TV shows Parts Unknown and No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain spent years serving some of the best French brasserie food in New York. With its no-nonsense, down-to-earth atmosphere, Les Halles matched Bourdain's style perfectly: a restaurant where you can dress down, talk loudly, drink a little too much wine, and have a good time with friends. Now, 20 years after its original publication, Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook remains an audacious classic, full of his signature humour and charm. Bourdain teaches you everything you need to know to prepare classic French bistro fare. While you're being guided, in simple steps, through recipes like roasted veal short ribs and steak frites, escargots aux noix and foie gras au pruneaux, you'll feel like he's in the kitchen beside you – firing off a few insults when you've scorched the sauce, and then patting you on the back for finally getting the steak tartare right. As practical as it is entertaining, Anthony Bourdain's handsomely repackaged Les Halles Cookbook and new foreword by Fergus Henderson make for a can't-miss treat for cookbook lovers, aspiring chefs, and Bourdain fans everywhere.

The classic bestseller from the star of Parts Unknown and No Reservations: 25th Anniversary edition, with a new introduction by Irvine Welsh. BEFORE THERE WAS THE BEAR, THERE WAS BOURDAIN. After twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine, chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain decided to tell all - and he meant all. From his first oyster in the Gironde as a child, to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny. Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water and your belly ache with laughter and leave you wanting more.

Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to the stunning desert solitude of Oman's Empty Quarter - and many places beyond. In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places - in his own words. Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook. Supplementing Bourdain's words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Chris; a guide to Chicago's best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more.

Pred viac ako dvadsiatimi rokmi sa v časopise The New Yorker objavil neslávne známy článok „Nejedzte predtým, než toto budete čítať“ od vtedy relatívne neznámeho šéfkuchára Anthonyho Bourdaina. Svojimi postrehmi o tom, čo sa deje za dverami kuchyne, nešetril žiadne chuťové poháriky. Text spôsobil škandál a kniha, ktorá vďaka nemu vznikla, dnes už klasické Důvěrnosti z kuchyně, bola ešte väčšou senzáciou a stal sa z nej bestseller s milión predanými výtlačkami. Bourdain sa v nej úprimne spovedá, je absolútne nemilosrdný a nič nezatajuje. Jeho príbehy sú šokujúce, odhaľujú drsné praktiky „vysokej kuchyne“, ale sú aj vtipné a hlavne pravdivé. Autorove spomienky na roky strávené v gastronómii teraz vychádzajú rozšírené o doteraz nepublikovaný materiál. Určite vás nadchnú Tonyho rukou písané poznámky, zaujme vás rozhovor s jeho editorom a s chuťou sa začítate do predhovoru Érica Riperta, kuchára a autora špecializujúceho sa na francúzsku kuchyňu. Ako povedal Anthony Bourdain: „Teraz už chápem, prečo sa tá kniha páči kuchárom a ľuďom z branže. Nespočetne ráz som počul: Opísal si môj život, kamoš.“

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 he?s cooking, it?s 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 favorites?dishes that everyone should (at least in Mr. Bourdain?s opinion) know how to cook. Once the supposed "bad boy" of cooking, Mr. Bourdain has, in recent years, become the father of a little girl?a 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.

After twenty-five years of 'sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine', chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain decided to tell all. From his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny.

Miért ne együnk halat hétfőn? Mi a baj a hollandi mártással? Mitől mennek tönkre a műkedvelő tulajok? Hogyan főzzünk úgy, mint a nagyok? Mitől profi egy séf? Anthony Bourdain világszerte bestsellerré vált könyve egyszerre vendéglátó-ipari oknyomozás, önéletrajz, krimi és receptkönyv, amelyben-sok egyéb mellett- a fenti kérdésekre is választ kapunk. De mi is ez a könyv? Háromszázhetven oldalnyi professzionális szakácsművészet, káromkodás, tesztoszteron és narkó. Kalandfilm konyháról konyhára. Túlélőkalauz étterembe járóknak. Tisztelgés a vendéglátás zsoldosai előtt, akiknek mindig csak egy dobása van: a következő.

For all those Anthony Bourdain fans who are hungering for more, here is Nasty Bits - a collection of his journalism. As usual Bourdain serves up a well-seasoned hellbroth of candid, often outrageous stories from his worldwide misadventures. Whether scrounging for eel in the backstreets of Hanoi, revealing what you didn't want to know about the more unglamorous aspects of making television, calling for the head of raw food activist Woody Harrelson, or confessing to lobster-killing guilt, Bourdain is as entertaining as ever. The Nasty Bits is a rude, funny, brutal and passionate stew for fans and the uninitiated alike. .

Autor několika bestselerů (u nás dosud vyšlo: Šéfkuchař na cestách a Důvěrnosti z kuchyně) a moderátor televizního cestopisného seriálu No Reservations Anthony Bourdain nikdy nikoho nešetřil. V Nevábných chuťovkách servíruje čtenáři důmyslně okořeněný ďábelský výtažek z nepřikrášlených a výstředních příhod, jež zažil během svého dobrodružného putování po světě. Jeho vyprávění jako vždy především pobaví, nehledě na to, zda se pídí po úhořích v postranních uličkách Hanoje, odhaluje méně atraktivní stránku natáčení pro televizi anebo svolává hromy blesky na hlavu vyznavače syrové stravy, Woodyho Harrelsona. Nevábné chuťovky, tvořené Bourdainovými nejzdařilejšími nebeletristickými příspěvky i zcela neznámými, dosud nepublikovanými články, jsou neomaleným, vtipným, drsným a láskyplně připraveným ragú, jež zachutná jak jeho nadšeným příznivcům, tak nezasvěceným jedlíkům.
