Appetites: A Cookbook<\/em>
by Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain is an idol of mine. I read his breakout book Kitchen Confidential<\/em> while I was working in a dingy Teriyaki Bar. I\u2019ve watched as he\u2019s eaten his way around the world. I\u2019ve read every book he\u2019s put out. I was first-in-line to pick up his only other cookbook released more than a decade ago \u2014 a collection of recipes from his time working at New York restaurant Les Halles. But his new one, Appetites: A Cookbook<\/em>, is much more personal and really captures who I imagine Anthony Bourdain to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipes are a mishmash of cuisines taken from Bourdain\u2019s travels and experiences, they\u2019re what he likes to eat, and what he feeds his family. You\u2019ll find new takes on old fare, like Mac and Cheese, Buttermilk Biscuits, and Thanksgiving Dinner. Also included, are recipes for some more worldly cuisine like Saffron Risotto, Banh Mi, and Poulet \u201cEv Vessie\u201d Hommage \u00e1 La M\u00e9re Brazier. Just don\u2019t expect a chocolate tart recipe, as Bourdain\u2019s not the biggest fan of baking sweets, or as he says, \u201cFuck Dessert.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the cover of Appetites: A Cookbook<\/em> is an incredible painting done by Ralph Steadman, which sets up the elegant punk rock vibe that fills the book. The food being photographed is often gristly, squiggly, and to some people \u201cgross,\u201d but it\u2019s shot in a beautiful way. There are shots of his Jiu Jitsu star wife putting someone in a headlock, friend and fellow cook Eric Ripert, and lots of vivid color, making this as much of an art book as a cookbook. This is a must for fans of Bourdain, or just people who are fans of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pride and Joy: Taking the Streets of New York City<\/em>
by Jurek Wajdowicz
The New Press
2016, 192 pages, 8 x 10 x 0.7 inches (softcover)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to come away from Pride & Joy: Taking the Streets of New York City<\/em> feeling unhappy. Nearly every person (and even every dog) is smiling broadly in these brightly colored photographs, which celebrate the people and spirit of New York\u2019s Pride Parades. Wajdowicz\u2019s vivid photos, which range from small portraits to two-page spreads, are the main focus. Nearly everyone pictured seems caught mid-movement: about to wave a flag, or shake a hand, or rush down the street. Interspersed with the photos are short comments from Pride participants, reflecting on what the event means to them. While these recognize the distance still left to go in achieving LGBT rights, the book is largely a feast for the eyes. \u201cPride & Joy\u201d is an apt title, given the book\u2019s overall mood of inclusion and festivity. \u2013 Christine Ro<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
