A guide to some of the world’s most fascinating places, as seen and experienced by writer, television host, and relentlessly curious traveler Anthony Bourdain Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania’s utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman’s Empty Quarter—and many places beyond. In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places—in his own words. Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid, World Travel provides essential context that will help readers further appreciate the reasons why Bourdain found a place enchanting and memorable. Supplementing Bourdain’s words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Christopher; a guide to Chicago’s best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook. For veteran travelers, armchair enthusiasts, and those in between, World Travel offers a chance to experience the world like Anthony Bourdain.

After twenty-five years of ''sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine'', chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain has decided to tell all. From his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain''s tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny.

From the host of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown and bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential, this wonderful book sees Bourdain travelling the world discovering exotic foods. Dodging minefields in Cambodia, diving into the icy waters outside a Russian bath, Chef Bourdain travels the world over in search of the ultimate meal. The only thing Anthony Bourdain loves as much as cooking is traveling, and A Cook''s Tour is the shotgun marriage of his two greatest passions. Inspired by the question, ''What would be the perfect meal?'', Anthony sets out on a quest for his culinary holy grail. Our adventurous chef starts out in Japan, where he eats traditional Fugu, a poisonous blowfish which can be prepared only by specially licensed chefs. He then travels to Cambodia, up the mine-studded road to Pailin into autonomous Khmer Rouge territory and to Phnom Penh''s Gun Club, where local fare is served up alongside a menu of available firearms. In Saigon, he''s treated to a sustaining meal of live Cobra heart before moving on to savor a snack with the Viet Cong in the Mecong Delta. Further west, Kitchen Confidential fans will recognize the Gironde of Tony''s youth, the first stop on his European itinerary. And from France, it''s on to Portugal, where an entire village has been fattening a pig for months in anticipation of his arrival. And we''re only halfway around the globe. . . A Cook''s Tour recounts, in Bourdain''s inimitable style, the adventures and misadventures of America''s favorite chef.

Written with the no-holds-barred ethos of his beloved series, No Reservations and Parts Unknown, the celebrity chef and culinary explorer’s first cookbook in more than ten years—a collection of recipes for the home cook. Anthony Bourdain is a 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.

Anthony Bourdain''s long-awaited sequel to Kitchen Confidential, the worldwide bestseller.

La Mafia a suscité tant de livres, tant de films et de feuilletons qu''on pourrait croire qu''aucun lecteur ne peut encore s''intéresser aux énièmes histoires d''un monde connu par cœur. Anthony Bourdain réussit pourtant l''exploit de nous passionner avec un thriller que le quotidien londonien The Independent trouve " very noir, very New York ". Le héros de La Surprise du chef ne souhaite pas suivre les traces de son oncle, un tueur obèse et impitoyable qui se goinfre de pizzas. Car le jeune Tommy est plus dégoûté encore par le goût des mafiosi pour la " malbouffe " que par leur cruauté. Son rêve est de devenir un chef pour lequel la grande cuisine n''aura plus de secrets. L''éditeur de Montalban parie que Pepe Carvalho aimerait ce polar gastronomique et son auteur, car Anthony Bourdain est un professionnel de la cuisine depuis des années et dirige à New York un restaurant réputé : la Brasserie des Halles.
