Om forfatteren

Anthony Michael Bourdain (; June 25, 1956 – June 8, 2018) was an American celebrity chef, author, and travel documentarian who starred in programs focusing on the exploration of international culture, cuisine, and the human condition.

Bourdain was a 1978 graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and a veteran of a number of professional kitchens in his long career, which included many years spent as executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in Manhattan. He first became known for his bestselling book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (2000). His first food and world-travel television show, A Cook's Tour, ran for 35 episodes on the Food Network in 2002 and 2003. In 2005, he began hosting the Travel Channel's culinary and cultural adventure programs Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (2005–2012) and The Layover (2011–2013). In 2013, he began a three-season run as a judge on The Taste, and concurrently switched his travelogue programming to CNN to host Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

Though best known for his culinary writings and television presentations, along with several books on food and cooking and travel adventures, Bourdain also wrote both fiction and historical nonfiction.

On June 8, 2018, Bourdain committed suicide while on location in France for Parts Unknown.

Kitchen Confidential

En køkkenchefs bekendelser

Ny udgave suppleret med håndskrevne kommentarer af Anthony Bourdain selv og med nyt forord af Svend Rasmussen. For næsten to årtier siden udgav magasinet The New Yorker artiklen ”Don’t Eat Before Reading This” af den dengang ikke særligt kendte køkkenchef på Brasserie Les Halles i New York City, Anthony Bourdain. I artiklen tager Bourdain læserne med bag svingdørene i de fine restauranter og lægger ikke skjul på, hvordan det går for sig. Artiklen blev en sensation, og den efterfølgende bog, ny-klassikeren Kitchen Confidential, blev en endnu større sensation, en megabestseller verden over. Det handler om tæt druk, stoffer, knepperi i kolonialvaresektionen, uappetitlige afsløringer om tvivlsom omgang med fødevarer og ulækker praksis i hele industrien … Men samtidig kan den interesserede læser også finde ud af, hvordan man laver professionelt udseende og velsmagende anretninger ved hjælp af få, praktiske redskaber. Anthony Bourdain døde 8. juni 2018, 61 år gammel.
