About this product
Product Information
The book that helped define a genre: Heat is a beloved culinary classic, an adventure in the kitchen and into Italian cuisine, by Bill Buford, author of Dirt . Bill Buford was a highly acclaimed writer and editor at the New Yorker when he decided to leave for a most unlikely destination: the kitchen at Babbo, one of New York City's most popular and revolutionary Italian restaurants. Finally realizing a long-held desire to learn first-hand the experience of restaurant cooking, Buford soon finds himself drowning in improperly cubed carrots and scalding pasta water on his quest to learn the tricks of the trade. His love of Italian food then propels him further afield: to Italy, to discover the secrets of pasta-making and, finally, how to properly slaughter a pig. Throughout, Buford stunningly details the complex aspects of Italian cooking and its long history, creating an engrossing and visceral narrative stuffed with insight and humor. The result is a hilarious, self-deprecating, and fantasically entertaining journey into the heart of the Italian kitchen.

AGLOBE & MAILBEST BOOK OF 2006 ANEW YORK TIMESNOTABLE BOOK OF 2006 "Sharing Buford's table talk is a pleasure not to be passed up." - Michael Redhill,The Globe and Mail "A messy, brilliant book, a high-brow kitchen soap opera, which never skates over the characters' flaws but is suffused with an infectious love of food and the people who devote their lives to it." -The Telegraph(UK) "An incisive, cracklingly funny book." -Time(Canada) "Heat, tightly written, evocative and compelling, is a feast in its own right." -Edmonton Journal "A difficult book to put down - ifHeatwas a movie, you'd be viewing it from behind your fingers. The book is an intoxicating drug we can't get enough of in paragraph after breathless paragraph of fast-paced and candid prose that leaves both the writer and the reader humbled.... And when one reluctantly turns the last page onHeat, it is with a sadness and a hungering for more." -Toronto Sun From the Hardcover edition., "Buford develops a superbly detailed picture of life in a top restaurant kitchen. . . Heat is a sumptuous meal." -- The New York Times "Delightful. . . . Charming. . . . [Buford's] style is . . . happily obsessed with a weird subculture, woozily in love with both cooking and the foul-mouthed, refined-palette world of the chef." -- The Washington Post Book World "Exuberant, hilarious, glorying in its rich and arcane subject matter, Heat is Plimptonesque immersion journalism. . . . With Heat , we have a writer lighting on the subject of a lifetime." -- The Los Angeles Times Book Review, "Buford develops a superbly detailed picture of life in a top restaurant kitchen. . .

With Heat , we have a writer lighting on the subject of a lifetime." - The Los Angeles Times Book Review, Praise forAmong the Thugs: "An important, perhaps prophetic, book. . .both exciting and sad at the core. . . . [Buford is] a superbly talented reporter." -The New York Times Book Review "Brilliant. . . . One of the most unnerving books you will ever read." -Newsweek "Animated, witty, and so pungent you can taste the stale lager." -Washington Post Book World From the Hardcover edition., "Buford develops a superbly detailed picture of life in a top restaurant kitchen. . .Heatis a sumptuous meal." -The New York Times "Delightful. . . .

Heat is a sumptuous meal." -- The New York Times "A delicious history of Italian cooking, with a twist: Buford, an amateur cook, entered the kitchen of one of New York City's hottest restaurants as a full-time employee, and [gives] us a story of Italian cuisine through the many characters . . . who prepare it, serve it, and eat it." -- GQ "Delightful. . . .

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
