Les Halles Special Edition and Typhoid Mary by Anthony Bourdain- Giveaway
December 10, 2024 by JennyEnter our US/Canada giveaway to win one of two sets of Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook: Strategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking and Typhoid Mary – An Urban Historical.
Bloomsbury USA has released a special 20th Anniversary edition of Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook: Strategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking as well as a paperback edition of Bourdain’s Typhoid Mary – An Urban Historical.
The Les Halles Cookbook is twenty years old. In 2004, Bourdain revealed the hearty, delicious recipes of his restaurant Les Halles and the provocative tricks of the trade that made him a celebrated name across the globe until his death in 2018.
With its no-nonsense, down-to-earth atmosphere, Les Halles matched Bourdain’s style perfectly: it was restaurant where you can dress down, talk loudly, drink a little too much wine, and have a good time with friends until it went bankrupt in 2017.
Les Halles is memorialized in this brilliant cookbook. Bourdain will teach you everything you need to know to prepare classic French bistro fare. There are seven recipes online from this title for you to try now.
Typhoid Mary – An Urban Historical is a riveting true crime tale from beloved chef and bestselling author Anthony Bourdain, originally published in 2001, centering around deadly cook Mary Mallon-otherwise known as the infamous Typhoid Mary.
By the turn of the twentieth century, it seemed that New York had put an end to the outbreaks of typhoid fever that had ravaged the city. That is, until 1904, when the disease broke out in a household on Long Island. Authorities suspected the family cook, Mary Mallon, of infecting the family through the food on their plates. But before she could be tested, the asymptomatic woman-soon to be known as Typhoid Mary – had disappeared. Proceeding to spread her pestilence from home to home across New York for years, Mary narrowly escaped the law until her arrest and institutionalization in 1907. After three years, she was released on the promise that she could never work as a cook again. So she disappeared once more, assuming countless aliases as she blazed a diseased path through New York, claiming countless lives in her wake. This is her story.
Taking us through the seedy back doors of New York’s kitchens circa 1900, Typhoid Mary uncovers the horrifying conditions that allowed for the deadly spread of typhoid over a decade and the life of the roguish woman who propelled it. Writing with his signature panache about his best subjects, rugged kitchens and their hardened chefs, Bourdain served up a feast for true crime fans and true Bourdain acolytes alike.
