Medium Raw Medium Raw, ISBN 9781408809143 and books by Anthony Bourdain on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz Anthony Bourdains long–awaited sequel to Kitchen Confidential, the worldwide bestseller. 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 authors 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 hes seen and what hes 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. About the AuthorAnthony Bourdains books include the mega–bestseller Kitchen Confidential, A Cooks Tour and Anthony Bourdains Les Halles Cookbook. His work has appeared in the New York Times and The New Yorker, and he is a contributing authority for Food Arts magazine. He is also the host of the Emmy Award–winning television show No Reservations.
