"Before stunning the world with his bestselling Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour, Anthony Bourdain spent years serving some of the best French brassiere food in New York. With its no-nonsense, down-to-earth atmosphere, Les Halles matched Bourdain's style perfectly: a restaurant where you can dress down, talk loudly, drink a little too much wine, and have a good time with friends. Here, Bourdain has put together a cookbook like no other: candid, funny, audacious, and full of his signature charm and bravado."
Synopsis
Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook: Strategies, Recipes and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking is Bourdain’s first cookbook, and teaches you everything you need to know about cooking classic French fare. Bourdain worked as the executive chef at Les Halles for many years beginning in 1998, and maintained a relationship with the restaurant long after leaving the kitchen - being described as their ‘chef-at-large.’
