Book: Medium Raw in English

Prečo si tak zakladáme na dobrom jedle? Profesionál a kuchár-cestovateľ Anthony Bourdain vám ponúka svoj originálny pohľad na vec.
A lot has changed since `Kitchen Confidential` - for the subculture of chefs and cooks, for the restaurant business - and for Anthony Bourdain. `Medium Raw` explores these changes, moving back and forth from the author`s bad old days to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-travelling professional eater and drinker, Bourdain compares and contrasts what he`s seen and what he`s seeing, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food.
And always he returns to the question: `Why cook?` Or the harder one to answer: `Why cook well?`. Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of powerful chefs he compares to a Mafia summit, Bourdain, in his distinctive, no-holds-barred style, cuts to the bone on every subject he tackles.
