Reviews

"[An] entertaining trifle of a book ... with the rude gusto and barbed wit that made ''Kitchen Confidential'' such a full-bodied pleasure." --Adam Shatz, New York Times Book Review

"Bourdain's prose is utterly riveting." --New York Magazine

"A juicy drama ... Bourdain creates a varied historical portrait of Mallon's time." --Seattle Times

"On page after page, Bourdain offers nothing but compassion ... He was determined to tell the familiar Typhoid Mary story from the point of view of a cook, a profession they had in common." --Washington Post
