One that I particularly enjoyed was Anthony Bourdain's collection, The Nasty Bits, especially his commentaries on his own essays in which he tends to say: "I think I had my head up my ass when I wrote this thing"' Monica Ali 'Bawdy, bolshy and bursting with energy.' The Daily Mail on A COOK'S TOUR 'Fantastic: as lip-smackingly seductive as a bowl of fat chips and pungent aioli' The Daily Telegraph on KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL
