Appetites

Appetites distills Anthony Bourdain's forty-plus years of professional cooking and international culinary experience into a personal collection of home-cooking favorites, drawing on a wide range of global influences rather than a single cuisine or region. Published in 2016, it marked Bourdain's first cookbook in more than a decade and reflects a shift in his cooking life toward preparing meals for family and friends rather than restaurant service. The book is aimed at home cooks and combines recipes with Bourdain's characteristically direct sensibility, presenting dishes he considers fundamental to a capable everyday repertoire.
