Kitchen Confidential

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
by Anthony Bourdain
HarperCollins, 2000, pgs. 312. Non-fiction

This is a fun book for any foodie or anyone who enjoys watching food shows on Food Network. Bourdain breezily tells the story of his colorful path from food prep acolyte to celebrity chef. The various accounts of his experiences in the kitchens he has worked in are heavily spiced with salty language, so this book may not be for everyone. However, if you are in any way familiar with his television programs, this should come as no surprise. This was a fun read and recommended for those who love a light if spicy (language again) read by and/or about celebrities.
