Summary
The classic bestseller from the star of Parts Unknown and No Reservations: 25th Anniversary edition, with a new introduction written and read by Irvine Welsh.
THE MAN BEHIND THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, TONY, STARRING DOMINIC SESSA & EMILIA JONES.
‘More gripping than a Stephen King novel' Sunday Times
'Bawdy, bolshie and bursting with energy' Daily Mail
'Nothing will be as sustaining and classic as this book' A. A. Gill
After twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine, chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain decided to tell all – and he meant all.
From his first oyster in the Gironde as a child, 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.
In the twenty-five years since it was first published, Kitchen Confidential has become a modern classic for its uncensored, razor-sharp insight into the restaurant kitchen at boiling point.
‘Rarely has a book been seized upon by a profession as the true gospel in such a manner' Jay Rayner
‘Extraordinary … written with a clarity and a clear-eyed wit to put the professional food-writing fraternity to shame’ Observer©2000 Penguin Random House LLC

For those who haven’t worked in the industry, this will be a gaping eye opener to how the food gets to your plate, the relentless dedication, grit and gutter humour it takes so you can write a 5 star review…
The saying goes “we’re all human” not us kitchen mongers, “we’re all beasts”…
