A savoury tell-all

KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL BY ANTHONY BOURDAIN Recommended by Magda Grace, head, Prime Video Canada

“During the height of the pandemic, I picked up Kitchen Confidential again. The book offers funny, observational humour about the cooking trade, describing the lessglamorous aspects of highend kitchens. I was engrossed by its exploration of the New York restaurant industry’s underbelly. My husband and I love going to new restaurants; we’re superfans of local restaurateurs like Jen Agg, Patrick Kriss and Jeff Kang. This book pulled me back into the restaurant-going experience and helped me survive lockdown.”
