Great for a Fan of the Man
A great book with amazing recipes. Has some interesting recipes and definitely isn't a run of the mill book with the token recipes thrown in. Each recipe has a story behind it and has some interesting Italian recipes. Book quality is top of the line and arrived in perfect conditions. Great for any Anthony Bourdain fans and even has a few personal stories.

A cookbook so cool that it hurts.
What an idea to have Ralph Steadman design the cookbook cover, an idea so fantastic that only Anthony Bourdain could have come up with it. I have yet to try the recipes, but being someone who eats everything and anything, I am pretty certain that I will love it. If nothing else, buy it for the great writing and the even better and unusual photos!

It is well worth its excellent price.
Anthony Bourdain is one of the most important people when it comes to food culture. His non-fiction publications, coupled with his stunning series has changed the way the world thinks about food. This cookbook comprises some of the knowledge he has gained since he took to the road. It includes recipes from all around the world, made more accessible to unfortunate people such as myself, who do not have an Asian market in the vicinity. I would suggest this book to anyone with an interest in food and travel: each recipe takes you in a different part of the world. It is well worth its excellent price.

Everything I expected and more
It's beautiful, the pics are fantastic, and it doesn't make me feel sloppy because the book comes with its own splotches on every page. Apart from that, the writing, the recipes.... everything is amazing.

don’t expect a recipe cookbook, just smth to open your appetite
I got this book just because..well Anthony Bourdain. Loved his raw, genuine style. The book looks good, quality cover/paper. The inside has mostly basic recipes described in the author’s style of writing. Measurements for recipes are in American sizes. I choose only 3 recipes to cook from the book, but I am happy with my purchase as I simply wanted to have smth from A.B in my book collection.

Excellent Cookbook with real recipes
I purchased this cookbook when it first came out, and I still love it. That fried pork chop sandwich was simply amazing. And I mean absolutely amazing. I will make it again and again. I also love how he incorporates what his daughter loves to eat as well. It’s a cookbook for everyday food that’s good and fun to eat, regardless of how traveled or how not traveled you are. Food is always a comfort and song or the heart, and this book showcases all of his.
