Review
This is the stuff of real writing . Bourdain is a great original ― Mail on Sunday
One of the world’s first and most influential celebrity chefs ― Guardian
Thrillingly profane, aggressively truthful voice . He would eat anything, go anywhere and say anything ― New York Times
Bourdain is a very funny writer; sharp, honest and with a beguiling mix of belligerence and sensitivity ― Sunday Telegraph
Brilliantly written in a raw, stylist gonzo prose, with pitch-black humour and a devilish turn of phrase ― Evening Standard
Christ, could Bourdain weave words . Imagery like crime-scene photos, the flayed raw humour of a morgue attendant, the sort of one-liners a hitman drips as he pulls the trigger, and similes that would make Raymond Chandler eat his own pencils. For all the rock’n’roll, the easy, sleazy charm, the guy wrote like a poet ― Guardian
Terrific . His love for his subjects – both the food and the cook – sings ― Daily Telegraph
Thrillingly profane, aggressively truthful . He would eat anything, go anywhere and say anything ― New York Times
Bourdain is a vivid, bawdy and often foul-mouthed writer. He thrills in the attack, but he is also an enthusiast who writes well about things he holds dear ― Wall Street Journal
Fun and frank … The perfect book for veteran travellers, armchair enthusiasts and those in-between ― Western Australian
