| Summary: |
"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 with his CNN television series Parts Unknown, he has made a profession of understanding the appetites of others. Appetites 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 a "bad boy" of cooking, Mr. Bourdain has, in recent years, become the father of a little girl - a role he has embraced with enthusiasm. 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"-- |
