Anthony Bourdain's latest memoir "Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook."

What do you get when you give a chef a pen? Sorry, no crème brûlée. Instead of a traditional cookbook, Anthony Bourdain threw us into the intense and sometimes downright masochistic world of a cook with his first memoir, Kitchen Confidential. Now a famous cookbook author and star of the Travel channel’s No Reservations, Bourdain takes another look into professional cooking with his newest memoir Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. From television cooking stars to world-renowned chefs, Bourdain lays out his heroes and villains and critiques food trends, relishing in his past experiences with a perfect meal.
