The classic bestseller from the star of Parts Unknown and No Reservations: 25th Anniversary edition, with a new introduction by Irvine Welsh.

BEFORE THERE WAS THE BEAR, THERE WAS BOURDAIN.

âElizabeth David written by Quentin Tarantinoâ A.A. Gill
âFantastic: as lip-smackingly seductive as a bowl of fat chips and pungent aioliâ Daily Telegraph

After twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine, chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain decided to tell all â" 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, Bourdainâs tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny.

Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water and your belly ache with laughter and leave you wanting more.

âCompelling â¦ with its intriguing mix of clever writing and kitchen patois â¦ more horrifically gripping than a Stephen King novelâ Sunday Times
âExtraordinary â¦ written with a clarity and a clear-eyed wit to put the professional food-writing fraternity to shameâ Observer
