Book Review By Jóhanna
Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain

This book is what made Anthony Bourdain a celebrity, and is an account of his love affair with food and his progress from dishwasher to chef. In addition to memoirs of his life and anecdotes about people he's met, there are useful chapters about kitchen tools, what foods to avoid in restaurants and a chapter on kitchen jargon.
