Anthony Bourdain is a man of many appetites. And for many years, first as a chef, later as a world-traveling chronicler of food and culture on his CNN series Parts Unknown , he has made a profession of understanding the appetites of others. These days, however, if he’s cooking, it’s for family and friends. Appetites, his first cookbook in more than ten years, boils down forty-plus years of professional cooking and globe-trotting to a tight repertoire of personal favorites—dishes that everyone should (at least in Mr. Bourdain’s opinion) know how to cook. Once the supposed "bad boy" of cooking, Mr. Bourdain has, in recent years, become the father of a little girl—a role he has embraced with enthusiasm. After years of traveling more than 200 days a year, he now enjoys entertaining at home. Years of prep lists and the hyper-organization necessary for a restaurant kitchen, however, have caused him, in his words, to have "morphed into a psychotic, anally retentive, bad-tempered Ina Garten." The result is a home-cooking, home-entertaining cookbook like no other, with personal favorites from his own kitchen and from his travels, translated into an effective battle plan that will help you terrify your guests with your breathtaking efficiency. Review: Excellent Cookbook with real recipes - I purchased this cookbook when it first came out, and I still love it. That fried pork chop sandwich was simply amazing. And I mean absolutely amazing. I will make it again and again. I also love how he incorporates what his daughter loves to eat as well. It’s a cookbook for everyday food that’s good and fun to eat, regardless of how traveled or how not traveled you are. Food is always a comfort and song or the heart, and this book showcases all of his. Review: Full Range of Good - This one's a keeper. There aren't a ton a recipes but there is a good representation of the basics and the comfort foods to the fancy to the international. Recipes are presented with some history and helpful hints. I think I would try most of these. After reading some of the other reviews I have to admit I am perplexed. Who did we think Anthony was? I've heard complaints of profanity in this book and disturbing pictures. This did not come as a surprise to me. I saw this and thought. "oh, so Bourdain!" I've heard complaints that some recipes were so simple it insulted ones intelligence and some so out there who would make that? And I can only think, so Bourdain. I read the recipe for scrambled eggs, which I've made a biggilion times and thought, I'll have to try it that way. I'm a good cook, but I'm not a Chef. Now, I'm off the the book seller's site for a one star review because I bought a New book, but this one is used. It has grease stains on pp.s 1-10. 190-191, and 238-239. Note: I'm editing this review before it even got posted and approved. The seller was you know who and complaints about customers getting damaged and used books from them go back to 2016. I contacted you know who and was told they would contact admins about the problem.... (its too late to return it). well, admins have known about the problem for six years. they don't care. Thanks, you know who you are. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,766 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Culinary Biographies & Memoirs #12 in Gastronomy Essays (Books) #39 in Celebrity & TV Show Cookbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,972 Reviews | ## Images ![Appetites: A Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HboHo-STL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Cookbook with real recipes *by E***N on March 13, 2025* I purchased this cookbook when it first came out, and I still love it.

Grilled cheese was a wake up. And its not for kids! This is an adult cookbook because he doesn't hold off on using Colorful words. If you love to cook and are a fan of Bourdain, or even Ralph Steadman who did the cover (Hunter Thompson's best friend, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?) Pick it up.
