Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook (Hardcover) $37.5 “The hardcover Anthony Bourdains Les Halles Cookbook will turn your kitchen into a bistro as famous as the celebrity chefs Les Halles New York bistro. Anthony Bourdain doesnt just churn out recipes, but spices them up with his wicked wit and sometimes profanity laced comments that will have you laughing as you easily prepare a tasty meal for your family. The Anthony Bourdain cookbook will find a permanent spot on your countertop, not the bookshelf. In the hardcover Anthony Bourdains Les Halles Cookbook brings the 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, 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. In the Anthony Bourdain cookbook 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. Although the Anthony Bourdain book has many dishes that 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. Buy Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook in hardcover and shock your family with a gourmet meal served up with some of the salty chef’s wit and profanity.” |

Kitchen Confidential Book (Paperback) $15.95 The paperback Kitchen Confidential book gives you a rare glimpse into what goes into those fancy gourmet dinners served in the best restaurants. Written by Anthony Bourdain, who stars in the lively TV show No Reservations, brings his quirky profanity-laced wit to the book subtitled Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, as he exposes what goes into creating those fancy meals. The Anthony Bourdain book makes no apologies as it pokes fun at the restaurant industry. In the Kitchen Confidential book we read how most diners believe that their sublime sliver of seared foie gras, topped with an ethereal buckwheat blini and a drizzle of piquant huckleberry sauce, was created by a culinary artist of the highest order, a sensitive, highly refined executive chef. The truth is more brutal. In the Anthony Bourdain book he writes it is more likely that elegant three-star concoction is the collaborative effort of a team of “wacked-out moral degenerates, dope fiends, refugees, a thuggish assortment of drunks, sneak thieves, sluts, and psychopaths,” in all likelihood pierced or tattooed and incapable of uttering a sentence without an expletive or a foreign phrase. In the Discovery book such is the muscular view of the culinary trenches from one who’s been groveling in them, with obvious sadomasochistic pleasure, for more than 20 years. CIA-trained Bourdain, currently the executive chef of the celebrated Les Halles, wrote two culinary mysteries before his first (and infamous) New Yorker essay launched this frank confessional about the lusty and larcenous real lives of cooks and restaurateurs. The Kitchen Confidential author is obscenely eloquent, unapologetically opinionated, and a damn fine storyteller a Jack Kerouac of the kitchen. Buy the Kitchen Confidential book by TV’s No Reservations Anthony Bourdain who with irreverent humor opens the swinging door to what really goes on in restaurant kitchens. |

Buy the DC Cupcakes Series 1 DVD, and tempt your taste buds as you’re sucked into the drama that the sisters and staff of Georgetown Cupcakes cook up. The Cupcake Diaries: Recipes and Memories from the Sisters of Georgetown Cupcake (Hardcover) On Valentine’s Day, 2008, sisters Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis opened the doors to Georgetown Cupcake, a tiny bakery tucked on a quiet side street in the heart of Georgetown in Washington, DC. They had given up the security of corporate jobs – Sophie, a Princeton graduate, in venture capital; Katherine, a graduate of Marymount University, who loved fashion, at Gucci, to fulfill a lifelong goal. For years, they had scrimped, saved, and skipped vacations and nights out with their friends and instead spent countless nights cleaning, painting, and constructing their shoe-box sized shop to make their dream into a reality. They expected to sell about 100 cupcakes a day. What happened instead was success beyond their wildest expectations. Two years later, the sisters have opened a second location, launched a nationwide shipping operation, and have embarked on a hit TV series, DC Cupcakes, on cable network TLC. Georgetown Cupcake’s meteoric rise is the realization of a dream rooted in the special bond that Sophie and Katherine formed with each other and their grandmother since childhood. It is a tribute to the memories they share and the important lessons they learned, both about baking and about life. In The Cupcake Diaries, Sophie and Katherine weave personal journeys into a colorfu |

Saturday Night Live Season 2 DVD (Full Frame) $29.98 For over three decades, Saturday Night Live has been the source of young comedic talent and helped to launch the careers of countless performers, making them household names. Still considered iconic for their live performances from Studio 8H in New York, the original cast of SNL (including Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner and John Belushi) set the tone for years to follow with their irreverent, edgy humor. They combined anti-establishment political satire with rock-and-roll attitude for a show that spoke to the youth of the 1970′s, turning it into an instant sensation. Although only the second year on the air, the 1976-1977 season turned out to be the last for Chevy Chase, but the first for a young comedian named Bill Murray. The complete second season of SNL contains legendary musical performances by artists Joe Cocker, The Band, Brian Wilson, Paul Simon, George Harrison, Frank Zappa, Chuck Berry, The Kinks, Santana and Tom Waits and classic appearances by hosts Lily Tomlin, Norman Lear, Steve Martin, Dick Cavett, Jodie Foster, Candice Bergen, Ralph Nader, Fran Tarkenton, Sissy Spacek, Elliott Gould and Shelly Duvall.
