Appetites: A Cookbook by Anthony Bourdain, with Laurie Woolever, is a distinctive home-cooking and entertaining cookbook that distills Bourdain’s decades of professional kitchen experience and international food travels into a collection of personal favorite recipes. Originally published in 2016, the 304-page hardcover focuses on practical dishes that Bourdain believed home cooks should know, while retaining his irreverent personality and sharp opinions about food. The recipes cover appetizers, eggs, salads, sandwiches, meat, poultry, seafood, pasta, vegetables, sauces, desserts, and entertaining. Rather than presenting restaurant cuisine as inaccessible, Bourdain translates professional techniques into recipes intended for cooking at home and entertaining family and friends. The book also reflects his broader food philosophy, combining culinary technique, efficiency, comfort food, global influences, and humor. Photography by Bobby Fisher and illustrations by Ralph Steadman give the book a distinctive visual character.
