I still miss you, Tony (CBR12Bingo 2: shelfie)

Bone in the Throat by Anthony Bourdain

October 15, 2020 by octothorp Leave a Comment

I love books about cooking, the science behind making food, and the nitty gritty of the restaurant, farming, and food complex industries. So imagine my delight when I saw an Anthony Bourdain book I hadn’t heard about, much less read. I loved The Nasty Bits, I’ve followed Bourdain since Kitchen Confidential, his take no prisoners style and strong opinions never made him fall prey to the elitism of others in the chef cult of personality (looking your way, Michael Pollan). I couldn’t wait to read […]

HAVE FUN WITH ALL YOUR CROWNS

Dance Nation by Clare Barron

Anthony Bourdain: The Last Interview by Anthony Bourdain

Felon by Reginald Dwayne Betts

December 17, 2019 by vel veeter 1 Comment

I find myself in one of those moods where I can’t figure out if I should take a deep dive into the not so fun introspection my brain is trying to take me through or if I should avoid it. While taking the deep dive feels worse, at least it confronts it as opposed to trying to avoid it and hoping for the best! I hate holidays because I don’t like strong feelings of any sense and there’s a kind of collective pressure to do […]

Transforming the Mundane to the Magical

December 13, 2018 by Halbs Leave a Comment

While I was not a Bourdain mega-fan prior to his death, I did always appreciate and respect him as someone striving to live an authentic life. He seemed to take a lot of joy out of wandering, and to have little patience for artifice. I like that. Another of his goals seems to have been to get people to veer off of their normally trodden paths and to try something new, just to see what was out there. Even though we’re very different kinds of […]

Cookbook, picture book, and goodbye

June 13, 2018 by CoffeeShopReader 3 Comments

Like a lot of people upon hearing of the sudden and unexpected death of Anthony Bourdain, I decided to read some of his work. I’d read Kitchen Confidential several years ago, so I didn’t feel the need to re-read that (plus, there were quite a few holds on the local library copies already). What was rather surprisingly available was his last cookbook Appetites; this worked well for me since I’d never read one of his cookbooks before. Appetites is written by the same opinionated fearless […]

Hi. I’m Badkittyuno, and I’ve fallen behind again…

July 27, 2017 by badkittyuno 5 Comments

Hi. Sorry. I really thought I was like 10 reviews behind and it turned out to actually be 19. So then I started up this list of reviews…and didn’t post it…and now I’m 26 behind. I would blame my kids/divorce/life, but really — I’d much rather read than write! Also, I’ve been working from home a lot and doing laundry instead of writing reviews (which is what I do when I get bored at the office), so that’s not helping. Anyway, here’s 26 brief reviews […]
