Antes de que existiera The Bear, existía Anthony Bourdain. Edición del 25.º aniversario de un clásico absoluto. Con una nueva introducción de Irvine Welsh. En las ya clásicas memorias del chef Anthony Bourdain, este nos llevo a traves de las puertas giratorias de la cocina y puso patas arriba el oficio culinario. Bourdain lo cuenta todo: desde su primera ostra en la Gironda hasta su humilde puesto de friegaplatos en un restaurante de pescado de Provincetown (donde se engancho al trabajo de chef de por vida); desde los fogones del Rainbow Room en lo alto del Rockefeller Center hasta los traficantes de drogas del East Village, pasando por Tokio, Paris y de vuelta en Nueva York. El resultado es un banquete deliciosamente divertido y chocante de relatos salvajes extraidos de su experiencia durante mas de veinticinco años entre fogones. Un libro que te hara la boca agua y te dejara con ganas de mas.La critica ha dicho: Un libro cautivador con su intrigante mezcla de escritura inteligente y lenguaje culinario.

El cocinero más salvaje, procaz y brutalmente sincero del planeta cuenta sin pelos en la lengua sus andanzas tras los fogones, probando todos los manjares, incluidos los prohibidos. Escritas a mordiscos y hasta a cuchilladas, en un enloquecido galopar de historias rabiosamente reales, estas Confesiones de un chef nos muestran lo que de verdad se cuece en las cocinas de los restaurantes, lo que los comensales seguramente preferirian no saber sobre como se trabaja en el habitat de los cocineros, entre fogones, calor, explotacion laboral, pinches de aspecto patibulario, chefs no muy ortodoxos, dudosa higiene y manipulaciones de la comida no siempre confesables. Nadie ha contado con tanta frescura y veracidad las interioridades de las cocinas de los restaurantes. Ferran Adria

After twenty-five years of 'sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine', chef and novelist, Anthony Bourdain has decided to tell all.

No Reservations" is Bourdain's fully illustrated journal of his far-flung travels throughout the world.

With his trademark wit and soulful charm, Bourdain takes readers with him on a hell-for-leather world tour, eating, drinking, hazing his producers, and generally getting in and out of international trouble. For any of Bourdain's growing army of rabid fans, this is an indispensable opportunity to hit the road with the man himself.

A lot has changed since Kitchen Confidential - for the subculture of chefs and cooks, for the restaurant business-and for Anthony Bourdain. Medium Raw explores these changes, moving back and forth from the author's bad old days to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-travelling professional eater and drinker, Bourdain compares and contrasts what he's seen and what he's seeing, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food. And always he returns to the question: `Why cook?' Or the harder one to answer: `Why cook well?' Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of powerful chefs he compares to a Mafia summit, Bourdain, in his distinctive, no-holds-barred style, cuts to the bone on every subject he tackles.

Last summer, The New Yorker published Chef Bourdain's shocking "Don't Eat Before Reading This". Bourdain spared no one's appetite when he told all about what happens behind the kitchen door. He uses the same "take-no-prisoners" attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable book, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, revealing what he calls "twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behavior and haute cuisine". Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter.

Muy seguro de entretener a entendidos y profanos, Bourdain no deja títere con cabeza en su exquisito, divertido y delicioso relato. Un recorrido apasionante desde el modesto oficio de lavaplatos, hasta la cocina del Rainbow Room en el Rockefeller center, mafia incluida.

Anthony Bourdain, life-long line cook and bestselling author of "Kitchen Confidential", sets off to eat his way around the world. But being Anthony Bourdain, this was never going to be a conventional culinary tour. Inspired by "Apocalypse Now", Bourdain heads out to Saigon where he eats the still-beating heart of a live cobra (washed down with its blood), and then into Cambodia, the Heart of Darkness, where he travels deep into landmined Khmer Rouge territory to find the rumoured Wild West of Cambodia (Pailin). Other stops include dining with gangsters in Russia, a medieval pig slaughter and feast in northern Portugal, the Basque All Male Gastronomique Society in Saint Sebastian, paladars in Cuba (Commie Beach Party), rural Mexico with his Mexican sous-chef, a pilgrimage to the French Laundry in the Napa Valley and a return to his roots in the tiny fishing village of La Teste, where he first ate an oyster as a child. Written with the inimitable machismo and humour that has made Tony Bourdain such a sensation, "A Cook''s Tour" is an adventure story sure to give you indigestion.
