If you can't stand the meat, get back in the kitchen
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Recent fatherhood may have changed Anthony Bourdain but he's still angry, and this is a highly articulate and entertaining foodie broadside – or "Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook", as the subtitle puts it.
He takes aim against a dodgy meat industry; inadequate teaching of the young about food and how to cook it; closed-mindedness about what other countries can show us; and even the credit crunch, which has seen good restaurants close while fast-food empires grow. Bourdain has lived and his experiences have been distilled into unstuffy wisdom about what matters and why.
