Welcome to Litsy!

Why did I read a cookbook cover-to-cover that I can‘t eat 90% of the recipes in? I‘m still not sure, but it‘s Tony. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Is this going to be your go-to cookbook? No, unless you live in a city with access to a lot wider variety and better quality ingredients than I have in my large town, and you have more speed and fluency in the kitchen than I do. He scores point on not using complicated equipment though. #borrownotbuy on #hoopla!

Happy Thanksgiving, Litsy family! ☺️ I‘m up before dawn, getting started on cooking my first-ever Thanksgiving dinner, with the help of Anthony Bourdain here. Just finished making this garlic herb butter with lemon zest, mmmm. I have so much to be thankful for this year! 🙏🏻 Wishing the same for all of you. ❤️

Research for the final paper of my stories and creative leadership class. This is going to be an emotional ride for me, but (hopefully) worth it.

Amazing cookbook. Funny and well written. The club sandwich is evil!! Lolol.

My birthday gifts, Appetites: A Cookbook was a very pleasant surprise......Anthony Bourdain, the world genuinely misses you, man. RIP.

🍴(the tagged book) is the last cookbook that I have gotten so right now I guess it's my favorite?

🍴No. Just like toast and jam isn't a pie.

🍴Hmmm. David Chang (Momofuku) or René Redzepi (Noma).

🍴Watermelon & bleu cheese...although to me that's not weird it's delicious. 😁

I grabbed this one at the library last weekend. It's been making me laugh (the first line in the dessert 'section' says F*%# Dessert!) 🤣& it's been making me sad. 😢 Oh Bourdain, such a loss--I can't believe it's been a week. 💔I tried the Spaghetti with Garlic, Anchovy & Parsley tonight. Delicious & done in about 15 min--which with today's heat & humidity, was more than enough time in the kitchen. It was my dinner & my blog post. Link👇🏻

I‘ve been absolutely heartbroken about Anthony Bourdain‘s death the past few days. I‘ve never really understood emotional reactions to celebrity deaths until now. My husband and I have been reading and watching him for years and the loss is just so massive, at a time when America needed his voice more than ever before. We live nearby and went to see the tributes at the original Les Halles on Friday night. 🖤

On the menu tonight. Partly feeling a comfort food meal, partly cause this one has ingredients we have/can easily get. First recipe we're trying from this book, though we've had it a while now.

RIP, Anthony Bourdain.

So sad he's not out there experiencing, creating, and sharing anymore 😢 #rip #anthonybourdain

Entertaining. And, put those goddamn marshmallows away.

#randombookquote

Just started. Picked up because of the cover art and Bourdain's appreciation for In 'n Out Burger. 🍔

Bourdain's snark and foul language pepper his family's favorite recipes accompanied by splashy and somewhat creepy photos of animal bits and other culinary carnage. Basically all the yes. I even found several recipes I'd love to try despite it being massively meat-centric. And now I'm hungry 😬 #mommyreads #cookbook #ebook

A fun, idiosyncratic cookbook.
Not Les Halles, but w more recipes I'll actually make. I ❤ Bourdain because you know he told the publisher "get me Steadman for the cover or it's no deal."

Have I mentioned how much I love Anthony Bourdain lately?
No?
Here's a reminder:

A good start to my challenge! I do love reading cookbooks!!!

Last post for Christmas Day. #christmasdinner! Prime rib with a side of dog eyes peering over my table. I'm broken-hearted over George Michael, but I am still having a wonderful, relaxing day.

Mimosa + Bourdain = 👌🎄🎉⭐Great photos and Bourdain comes across just as delightfully snarky on the page as off 👍👍

I'm kind of so-so on cookbooks. I think it's good to have a couple around and I'll buy ones from friends who write them but there's a ton of internet recipes to check out instead. Still, this will be satisfying for Bourdain fans and does have killer recipes like Macau pork bun sandwich. He described the original experience in Macau as "like peeling the panties off a super model". So there's that. Lovers of Bourdain rejoice!

Oh my....had the kids at the library and saw this book on the new book shelf. I love all things Bourdain! This book is beautiful and as is Bourdain's way many recipes I might never cook but plenty I would. The pictures and his writing cracks me up. Would be a great gift for anyone who appreciates his style.

#recommendsday: Giving these lovelies to my husband for Christmas.

I picked this cookbook up for my foodie hubby as an early Christmas gift.
Anthony Bourdain is kick-ass awesome! Can't wait to try some of these dishes.

"Melted cheese. End of story"

OMG.

#BookNDinner: #Thanksgiving Edition! 😋 Bourdain breaks down how to make a disaster-free Thanksgiving feast, step by step, day by day. I recommend reading his Thanksgiving tips for next year! This feast is comprised of turkey & gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, turnips, mashed potatoes, candied yams, green beans, the works! Yum yum. And as always, I'm thankful for you, my wonderful @Litsy family. ❤️

This is happening any minute! Anthony Bourdain take me away into your world.

I got this book from the library for a specific recipe that kept getting mentioned on @bookriot podcasts and giving me cravings. I'm clearly in above my head here. But I have to admire the dedication of this fridge shot.

#cookbook #amreading

Great fun to read through this book after listening to him read his memoir. (And I think Anthony Bourdain would not appreciate this dinner I ate recently in Providence!)

Anthony Bourdain's surly intelligence makes me happy and so does his new cookbook and the butterlicious Pommes Anna I cooked from it today! #anthonybourdain #appetites #bookstagram #butter

🍃🍂It's a blustery autumn night here in the Pennsylvania mountains, so I'm digging in to a comforting creamy mushroom soup with garlic, while reading Bourdain's chapter on soup! Reading about food makes me hungry. 🍲😋

I'm just delving into cookbook territory (mostly relied on Allrecipes till now): Appetites, full of Bourdain's sassy humor, cooking tips, & his personal tried & true recipes that he uses at home w/ fam & friends; Ingredient, the book I've waited for all my life, teaches chemistry of cooking & how ingredients' interactions affect results (why eggs fried in olive oil suck, but eggs fried in butter rock). Fab books!

#CookBookLove #LitsyDoesCooking

Obviously had to post this for #cookbooklove ... One of my favorites ❤️🙌🏼 #photoadaynov16

This book by my favorite punk-rock chef extraordinaire is my new obsession. With Mr. Bourdain's wry voice and Ralph Steadman drawings, it's gorgeous and functional. #cookbooklove #photoadaynov16

Among our Holiday Picks for 2016 is Anthony Bourdain's first cookbook in 10 years! A look at home cooking with Bourdain's infamous no-holds-barred style, "Appetites" will save the day on Thanksgiving and the rest of the year too. #CopperfieldsRecommends #CopperfieldsBooks

I just got this! #cookbooklove #photoadaynov16

These are the two new editions to the #cookbooklove bookshelf. "His and hers" Ha! I have yet to page through either, but I hear the WoW book has some interesting ideas. We already made the cherry grog. Hic! ?This is the first Bourdain book that has recipes. #photoadaynov16

Great writing, no big surprise but still entertaining plus lots of great cooking tips.

Oh man. I think this might qualify for #HalloweenReads. #booktober

Why yes I did have to make Bourdain's tomato soup again in order to answer a very important question: is it better served with a grilled cheese or BLT? We have decided the test needs to be performed many more times before we can even begin to decide.

A glass of red and yes.

Anthony Bourdain had a great talk about cooking for loved ones and the practicality of it. His is a great signature to add to the collection. #anthonybourdain #appetites @Eccobooks

Anthony Bourdain has feelings about: bacon, brunch, burgers, eggs, English muffins, family meals, leftovers, risotto prep, sex after dinner parties, truffle oil, and Thanksgiving prep (a stunt turkey!) among other things. I love his writing style. Reading through his recipe book is a true delight, and the photography is stunning and so compelling.

Come to me, My Precious.

This gorgeous book comes out today! Anthony Bourdain's latest cookbook in about 10 years is filled with decades-worth of his experience as a professional chef and world traveler - and is perfect for entertaining even the most discriminating guests. The cover, created by artist Ralph Steadman, is as edgy, irreverent, and fun as Bourdain himself!
#appetites #anthonybourdain #ralphsteadman #cookbook #newrelease

I giggled my way through this cookbook, coming soon. Another recipe includes the phrase "fuck nuts."

Made the tomato soup out of Bourdain's new cookbook and omg delicious! He curses and is himself throughout the entire book- I found it amusing.
Notes regarding soup:
*I followed the recipe to the letter.
*The cream should not be fridge cold when +
*I saved all the "pulp" from the strainer to use for spaghetti sauce.
*in total I was in the kitchen for 1.5 hours.

Love Bourdain and cannot wait to try some of these.

APPETITES IS COMING from Anthony Bourdain on 10/25
