The book is available at Amazon.com. For a preview go to Alain Ducasse "Flavors of France." Bon Appetit!


KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL
by ANTHONY BOURDAIN

Well, if this does not give you some inkling on what the boys in the back room are doing, nothing will! It was a swift, fast track trip through the career of Bourdain, and the many and varied cooking venues he has visited throughout his career. The book is shocking, as well as funny, but is really more information than I personally needed to know. His descriptions on the decayed state of fish from day-to-day will forever give me paranoia when approaching a new menu. Perhaps he should have titled this book "Don't Eat The Fish." But, if you have a strong stomach, and can relate to his twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad boy antics and haute cuisine, you may find this book illuminating.
