    About this ebook

    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.

      I bought this cookbook for well, many reasons. One, I miss Anthony Bourdain, two, The Tasting Table Cookbook Club on Facebook is using this cookbook this month for us to try recipes and post our results and pictures of our meals. I love this page, don't post a lot of the meals I make, but I have found wonderful, honest cooks there, and so enjoy knowing a few of the cookbooks they suggest I have had for decades!

      If you enjoy Bourdain on TV, you will enjoy this cookbook. His writing style is so vivid, and so indistinct from his speaking style, that it's almost possible to forget you're reading instead of watching him on screen. The recipes aren't inspired or filled with fads, but they aren't meant to be. The photography is incredible, the food sounds delicious, and I'm going to start cooking my way through it as soon as I finish writing this.

      Fantastic.

      If you have watched any of his shows then you will be hearing him in your head while you read and use this cookbook. I liked how the recipes are set up with some having hints and tips before the actual measurements and some after. It feels more like a friend telling you how to do things instead of just measurements and directions with the pictures. There are lots of great photos in the book and not just the typical food shots you would expect to find. But I have to say the last photo in the book made me laugh at loud. I’ll try out a few of these recipes but I think a few I would have to try while going out to eat before I attempted it at home.

      Overall a great book and I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy of the book.

    • 4/5
      Continuing my pattern of reading cookbooks without actually cooking from them (and unofficially reading quite a bit out of Anthony Bourdain's Harper Collins/ecco imprint), Appetites is a great piece if you're a Bourdain fan. This cookbook features his 'home' recipes, his comfort foods, etc. told in his distinctive voice (I doubt there are audiobook versions of cookbooks, but I imagine this one would be delightful). My favorite chapter (besides the brief bit on dessert) is probably Thanksgiving- it never occurred to me to have both a stunt turkey & a business turkey, but it's a clever bit of display for all those guests visiting while feeding them.

      Photography leans on the artsy side- they might be thematically related to the dish, or mid prep, or mostly eaten off to the side, so not necessarily great for visual learners. The Ralph Steadman cover is glorious, and in hardcover form the book is quite sturdy.

      I also think it very wise of Bourdain to not show his daughter (8 years old as of publication)'s face- while he's chosen to live in the public eye, she has not and can make that decision for herself as an adult. She's present, but with a bit of privacy.
