Kitchen Confidential FIRST EDITION 1st Printing Anthony BORDAIN 2000

  

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly. Octavo, original full-bound paper with paper with title to spine. First Edition, First Printing of Anthony Bordain's bestselling memoir and first work of non-fiction, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly.

Presenting exceptionally well in its original dust jacket. There are extraordinary passages here, written with clarity and a clear-eyed wit to put the professional food writing fraternity to shame.

His account of a day in the life of a chef is a tour de force. In short Bourdain has written a bouillabaisse of a book. Which is to say it's a classic, and a ripe one at that.

There are very few books which all professional cooks should read but this is one. To Escoffier and Larousse may now be added the name Bourdain (The Guardian). Original full-bound paper sides and spine present clean and unmarked.

Dust jacket presents fine with only a pen-sized area of separation of laminate to head of spine. This item is in the category "Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible". The seller is "twobeesrarebooks" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
