Bourdain’s tell-all memoir that reminisces on his first oyster to pot-washing, and everything in between. Cooking carried him across the world, from Tokyo, to Paris, and New York. His tales in the kitchen are wild and unpredictable, yet always infused with passion for cooking. As the food critic A. A. Gill observes, Kitchen Confidential is “Elizabeth David written by Quentin Tarantino”.
Provenance: This book originally came from the library sale of television chef Antony Worrall Thompson.
