Kitchen Confidential
by Anthony Bourdain
(873 Reviews)
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | Cooking, Food & Wine
Kitchen Confidential reveals what Bourdain calls “twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behavior and haute cuisine.” Last summer, The New Yorker published Chef Bourdains shocking, “Dont Eat Before Reading This.” Bourdain spared no ones appetite when he told all about what happens behind the kitchen door. Bourdain uses the same “take-no-prisoners” attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable book, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. From Bourdains first oyster in the Gironde, to his lowly position as dishwasher in a honky tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown (where he witnesses for the first time the real delights of being a chef); from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, to drug dealers in the east village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdains tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable. Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter. Youll beg the chef for more, please.

A History of the World in 6 Glasses
by Tom Standage
(137 Reviews)
Genre: Cooking, Food & Wine | History
“Standage starts with a bold hypothesis, that each epoch, from the Stone Age to the present, has had its signature beverage, and takes readers on an extraordinary trip through world history. The Economist’s technology editor has the ability to connect the smallest detail to the big picture and a knack for summarizing vast concepts in a few sentences. In and around these grand ideas, Standage tucks some wonderful tidbits, on the antibacterial qualities of tea, Mecca’s coffee trials in 1511, Visigoth penalties for destroying vineyards, ending with a delightful appendix suggesting ways readers can sample ancient beverages.”

Not everyone in Sweetwater Springs, however, is happy about her arrival. Samantha’s neighbor, Wyatt Thompson, insists she has no idea what she’s taking on, with the ranch or with the neglected boys she’s adopted.
