Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

First UK edition of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential

Anthony Bourdain1956–2018

First UK edition. 8vo. Pp. x, 307, [3]. Black cloth boards, stamped in red foil to spine.
Named Food Writer of the Year by Bon Appétit magazine in 2001. When chef Anthony Bourdain published "Don't Eat Before You Read This" in The New Yorker in April 1999, he spared no one's appetite, by revealing the goings-on on behind the kitchen door. In this modern culinary classic, he expanded the appetizer into a deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet that laid bare his twenty-five years of sex, drugs, and haute cuisine.
Following his suicide in June 2018, an online auction of more than 200 of his most prized possessions, among them the original Kitchen Confidential manuscript, raised over $1.8 million to be shared between his family and the founding of a scholarship in his name at the Culinary Institute of America.
"With equal parts wit and wickedness, Bourdain [does] the unthinkable by revealing trade secrets that chefs and restauranteurs cringe to read." Restaurant Business Magazine
