Laurie Woolever: 'I know what Anthony Bourdain was really like!'

This week I’m joined by Laurie Woolever. You may not recognise her by name but you’ll definitely know the man she worked for! None other than Anthony Bourdain. As Tony’s assistant for many years up until his passing in 2018, Laurie has worked in the culinary world for decades as a food writer, recipe tester, cookbook author and also as the assistant to the infamous Mario Batali.

She joined me earlier this year in London, whilst on her book tour. She released her memoir, Care and Feeding, which details her hedonistic life in the New York food scene. She led a life of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, before finding sobriety. Laurie is very open about her past, and we go into real detail about her time working with Anthony, what he was like behind the scenes and the memory he’s left imprinted on this world. Enjoy this episode, it’s a good one!
