APPETITES

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, 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 boils down 40 plus years of professional cooking and world traveling to a tight repertoire of personal favorites. After years of traveling over 200 days a year, Bourdain, now the father of a little girl, has come to enjoy entertaining at home. Lavishly and provocatively photographed by Bobby Fisher, Appetites looks to take the cookbook to the edge of the cliff—and over. An instant collectible, it is intended to hang on every kitchen wall, a rebuke and reminder to those who would attempt anything less than excellence of burgerdom. Anthony Bourdain is the author of the novels Bone in the Throat, The Bobby Gold Stories, and Gone Bamboo, in addition to the mega-bestseller Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour. His work has appeared in the New York Times, The New Yorker, and he is a contributing authority for Food Arts magazine. He is the host of the popular television show “Parts Unknown.”
