A celebrity with a high-profile position as executive chef at New York bistro Les Halles, and bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour, Bourdain doesn't intend to break new ground. The dishes do exactly as the subtitle notes and include such solid classic fare as Onion Soup Les Halles, Steak au Poivre, Boeuf Bourguignon, Coq au Vin and Chocolate Mousse. Nearly all recipes are within reach of competent home cooks, and those that are more complicated or time-consuming—Bouillabaisse, Cassoulet and Roulade of Wild Pheasant—are thoroughly spelled out to calm most jitters. Foie gras, duck fat and dark veal stock are frequent components, but a list of suppliers makes just about every ingredient available. Even though many of the dishes can be found in other cookbooks, what sets this one apart is Bourdain's signature wise-ass attitude that pervades nearly every recipe, explanatory note and chapter introduction. Profanity adds frequent color. If Aunt Doris would blanche at pearl onions being called "little fuckers," a cook who prefers boneless meat in Daube Provençal a "poor deluded bastard," or a person nervous about making these recipes a "dipshit," this book is not for her.

Bestselling author, TV host, and chef Anthony Bourdain reveals the hearty, delicious recipes of Les Halles, the classic New York City French bistro where he got his start.
Before stunning the world with his bestselling Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain, host of the celebrated TV shows Parts Unknown and No Reservations, spent years serving some of the best French brasserie food in New York. With its no-nonsense, down-to-earth atmosphere, Les Halles matched Bourdain's style perfectly: a restaurant where you can dress down, talk loudly, drink a little too much wine, and have a good time with friends. Now, Bourdain brings you his Les Halles Cookbook, a cookbook like no other: candid, funny, audacious, full of his signature charm and bravado.
Bourdain teaches you everything you need to know to prepare classic French bistro fare. While you're being guided, in simple steps, through recipes like roasted veal short ribs and steak frites, escargots aux noix and foie gras au pruneaux, you'll feel like he's in the kitchen beside you-reeling off a few insults when you've scorched the sauce, and then patting you on the back for finally getting the steak tartare right.
As practical as it is entertaining, Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook is a can't-miss treat for cookbook lovers, aspiring chefs, and Bourdain fans everywhere.
A good read, and a great attitude This is one of the few cook books that both (a) I've read cover-to-cover, *and* (b) I recommend to anyone who will listen. I am particularly fond of the "it's not hard" and "it doesn't have to be expensive or finicky" attitude -- it's very encouraging and enthusiastic. In fact, having read (and cooked a bunch from) both this book and Charcuterie, I now get *angry* when a mid-tier or better restaurant serves me clearly-store-bought stuff -- it's just not that hard!It's a great book, and an entertaining read. The only downside is that it has too many... forced? artificial-feeling? "Bourdain"-ness moments, added in in a jarring way. It probably helps sell the book, but I thought it felt unnecessary and hacky too often -- and this is coming from someone who -likes- his shows and public persona! There were just too many times I thought, "I'd bet $100 some editor poked him to stick that phrase in there, or added it himself" that were jarring as I read it. And I'm a -fan- of direct, adult language and side rants! It felt like it needed another round of editing, or simply a bit more effort; sorry, had to ding a star.Still, if you're interested in French cooking, or don't actually read the narratives of cookbooks and are looking for technique and recipes, it's a great resource.Now go make some stock from scratch! : )if I like them well enough I've bought several copies of this book. I am a professional cook, but it is not something I want to do for the rest of my life, although it has treated me well while I go to school, army bct, etc. However, when I encounter younger new cooks full of dreams and doubts, if I like them well enough, I'll let them have a copy of this book, as it is a great source of inspiration to either pursue the life of the chef or get really good at something else.Thought I knew how to cook, thank you Mr ... Thought I knew how to cook, thank you Mr. Bourdain for a showing me how much I have to learn. Luv the book.
