Kitchen Confidential

A first paperback edition in fine condition. Boards are clean and square, with no creasing to the spine and no wear to the corners. Pages are crisp and unmarked throughout, and the book appears unread aside from a small inscription on the inside front cover. First paperback edition, published by Bloomsbury Publishing in London in 2001, following the first hardcover edition of 2000. In Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, chef and author Anthony Bourdain recounts twenty-five years in professional kitchens, from an early oyster in the Gironde to dishwashing in a Provincetown fish restaurant and cooking at the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center. Told with dark humour and unsparing candour, the book was a critical and commercial success on publication and remains one of the defining memoirs of the restaurant trade,
