Anthony Bourdain
A decade has passed since Anthony Bourdain revealed the secret life of professional kitchens everywhere in Kitchen Confidential ($19.95). Here he zigzags back and forth in time revisiting the places and people who starred in his first book. His unflinching look at his drug-fueled younger self contrasts sharply with the happily married middle-aged father he has become. In between glances at the past, he skewers--and sometimes praises--contemporary chefs, critics, and culinary practices. Perhaps the most important pronoucement in the whole book is his advice to eaters to put down the cameras and notebooks (bloggers, that means you), to stop overthink a meal while consuming it, to submit to the chef's artistry. Hardcover, 281 pp. $28.99.
