Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain ($24.95, Bloomsbury) must be the year’s most-talked-about book in foodie circles. Bad boy Bourdain is a chef (at Brasserie Les Halles in New York City) as well as a novelist, and he tells the real story of what goes on in the kitchen. Don’t say we didn’t warn you: It may well be more than you really want to know. The New York Times calls it “deliciously depraved.” |
