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. . . .

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
