Anthony Bourdain

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 cocinero más salvaje, procaz y desarmantemente 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.

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

For any of Bourdain's growing army of rabid fans, this is an indispensable opportunity to hit the road with the man himself.

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.
