No
one writes about food or cooking quite like Tony Bourdain. In his bestselling
books Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour, Bourdain captivated readers
all over the world with his gritty, action-paced tales of the kitchen. Now he
brings his inimitable style and energy to Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles
Cookbook.
With over a hundred recipes from Tony’s restaurant, the legendary Brasserie
Les Halles in New York, this is guaranteed to be as much a good read as to help
you cook up a storm in the kitchen. A must for every Tony Bourdain fan and for
foodies everywhere, this is going to be a classic.
His last book, A Cook's Tour accompanied a 22-part television series shown in
early 2002, in which he traveled the world on an unconventional culinary tour,
including sampling the still-beating heart of a live cobra, dining with gangsters
in Russia, and returning to his roots in the tiny fishing village of La Teste
where he first ate an oyster as a child. The book won the 2002 Guild of Food
Writers Award for Food Book of the Year and was short listed for the Thomas
Cook Travel Book Award 2002.
Anthony Bourdain was born in New York City in 1956, studied at Vassar College,
and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. His exposé of New
York restaurants Don’t Eat Before Reading This was published in The New
Yorker in 1999 attracting huge attention in America and the UK and formed the
basis of his bestselling book, Kitchen Confidential.
Anthony Bourdain has plied his profession on both sides of the Atlantic for
over twenty years. Now married and a resident of New York City, he is the executive
chef at Brasserie Les Halles. He has also written an introduction to the re-issue
of the classic Nose to Tail Eating by Fergus Henderson of St John, published
by Bloomsbury in September 2004.
