About this deal

Writing a cookbook has been a dream of mine ever since I can remember. It's something that I thought about often and mentioned to my family And it reads like a narrative. He talked about each dish - and it’s like you’re sitting eating it with him and he’s just sharing stories.

Underneath its carefully curated punk aesthetic and ripped-from-the-(now ex-)family recipes, "Appetites" is also unintentionally a meditation on life and how it should be lived. Reading Bourdain's commentaries, you get the sense that “Appetites” reflects the man and his experiences. Perhaps because I lived a deliberately safe and sheltered life, I can taste the textures and tones that went into his. When you live your life in the world, devouring all that you see, you're marinating in what you consume. You are what you eat, literally, emotionally, and figuratively.I started working as a dishwasher one summer and it was really a big event for me, because up to that point I was lazy. I was the kid that if you hired me to shovel your walk in winter, I would really do a terrible job of it, probably find a way to weasel out. ... I've lost three days of work in 16 years ... only three days that I've been down for the count and confined to bed and desperately, horribly ill. Generally speaking, if it's, like, a street-food stall that's busy, even if it looks dirty as hell, if there are a lot of locals there and they're eating and they're happy, my crew will always eat at that place. Eating a Caesar salad at the major chain hotel in Central Africa or the Middle East, that's where you run into trouble, stomach-wise, generally. Edgy, evocative photography by Bobby Fisher and a cover from artist Ralph Steadman (known for his work with Hunter S. Thompson) make Appetites a visually distinct entry to the 2016 cookbook lineup. Go, take a look inside: How brilliant to release this just before Thanksgiving. I've obsessed over his recipes for the last 2 days. My husband said "this year is going to be epic, baby!" We have a deep, mutual love for Bourdain. I hand wrote the weeks food planning. What I share with Tony is focused preparation, a desire to entertain, a need for my food to be effing amazing, and for everyone to have a good time or get out! This book screams of these and I soaked it all up.

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. Read More New for 2021- celebrate the life and legacy of the inimitable food writer with WORLD TRAVEL, Bourdain's guide to the global food scene, compiled by his long-time assistant and cookbook co-author** Each and every word is informed by his years in the industry and a life dedicated to food. This is a man who has declared the club sandwich as America's Enemy and wants you to understand the principles of Bad Sandwich Theory.

I read the recipe for scrambled eggs, which I've made a biggilion times and thought, I'll have to try it that way. I'm a good cook, but I'm not a Chef.New for 2021: celebrate the life and legacy of the inimitable food writer with WORLD TRAVEL, Bourdain's guide to the global food scene, compiled by his long-time assistant and cookbook co-author** The recipes themselves lean more practical than I expected - the kitchen experience is here as efficiency is the central component of each, as far as I can tell. Seafood is his kryptonite so it makes sense that's where the heart of the book lies, but he makes room for comfort foods like mac' n cheese and biscuits and gravy. No dessert, though, so if that's a dealbreaker you'll want to avoid this one. I can't even get hold of this book before it's available, but I just wanted to point out a fact about this book that many people might miss.

The kitchen brigade [were] the first people whose respect I wanted, and the first time in my life that I went home feeling respect for myself. It was very hard work. You had to be there on time. There were certain absolutes, certain absolute rules, and for whatever reason I responded to that. ...

Most of the recipes are for the things he liked to eat … pastrami sandwich, burgers, spaghetti dishes, ramen/miso and some other more exotic type of fare. I will say that the curation of recipes is obviously done by Bourdain and not too many cookbooks would cover as wide a ground of super complicated/fancy recipes to everyday stuff like sandwiches or three to four ingredient pasta.

I was one of the very first to review his previous book. I am always certain to have them immediately. Because I love him. This one's a keeper. There aren't a ton a recipes but there is a good representation of the basics and the comfort foods to the fancy to the international. Recipes are presented with some history and helpful hints. I think I would try most of these. Bourdain explains in his introduction that this is his family cookbook. It should be noted that, as this book was published, Bourdain abandoned his family for his television work. "These are the dishes I like to eat and that I like to feed my family and friends. They are the recipes that ‘work,’ meaning they've been developed over time and have been informed by repetition and long -- and often painful -- experience.” This is Anthony Bourdain's interpretation of a normal cookbook.
