And if I thought it breathtaking before, well, he really has to be heard to be believed. His recent, sad departure from this world prompted me to read the book again but this time literally in his own voice as he is also the narrator. He remained an hero throughout the years to come. I bought copies for family members, bored anyone who'd listen with excerpts and advice from the book, then started on a succession of other cook's tales, but none was as funny, scary, evocative as that by Bourdain. Two days later I bought and read Kitchen Confidential, and was totally blown away. Or "The invasion of Normandy every day of the week." I first heard of author, Anthony Bourdain, in a review discussion of his exposé of behind the scenes restaurant life on BBC Radio Four over twenty years ago. Your body is not a temple it's an amusement ride.
