Ariane Bourdain’s memories of the late Anthony Bourdain, a celebrated chef and television host, particularly stand out in the new authorized biography of his life. 

She reflects on how they would bond over their shared love of the animated film Ratatouille, going to even greater lengths to mimic the characters in it by making the French stewed vegetable dish together. 

The book features interviews with many members of Anthony’s family, namely his second wife, Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, who lived with him in his later years. 

One thing is for certain: this profound biography offers readers a unique window into Anthony Bourdain’s personal life and offers his daughter an opportunity to share her cherished memories with a broader audience.

Anthony Bourdain became a household name when he shared his insights from the kitchen in his memoir, Kitchen Confidential. 

As his popularity grew, so did his curiosity about the world, inspiring him to embark on many adventures through television and to bring food-centered stories and cultures to life like never before. 

But in June 2018, much of Bourdain’s fan base was struck with shock and disbelief when news broke that he had committed suicide. 

In the recently-released biography attempting to understand what led to his death, Woolever reaches out to those closest to him, including those who shed light on his tumultuous relationship with Italian actress Asia Argento and its undeniable influence over the last moments of the celebrity chef’s life.

Busia-Bourdain highlighted Bourdain’s approach to parenting in a recently published excerpt from her book. She described him as being ‘impulsive,’ but balanced when it came to decisions affecting her and their daughter. 

She went on to explain that Bourdain was the good cop when it came to parenting, often engaging in fun activities with their daughter and nothing else. In fact, he nicknamed himself ‘Silly Dada‘ due to his jovial and playful attitude towards parenting.

Anthony Bourdain’s close friends and family were shocked by his unexpected death in June 2018. He was a celebrity chef-turned-TV host, recovering cocaine and heroin addict, and an individual who dealt with depression. 

Bourdain was married to Ottavia Busia-Bourdain from 2007 until they separated in 2016, while their divorce was never finalized. Before that, he had been married to his high school sweetheart Nancy Bourdain until the marriage ended in divorce. 

During the separation from Busia-Bourdain, Bourdain entered a roller-coaster romance with actress Argento until he passed away in Kaysersberg, France, while filming an episode of Parts Unknown for CNN at the Le Chambard hotel.

Ariane’s memories of her father are fond and upbeat, evidently fuelled by his willingness to connect with her in the imaginative world of play. 

His open-mindedness and gentle willingness to indulge her creative expressions must have provided Ariane with a feeling of comfort that ultimately laid the groundwork for the strong bond between them. 

Not only did it create an environment where she felt secure enough to express herself freely, but it also underscored the value that her father placed on nurturing her unique identity.
