A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines
Autor Anthony Bourdainen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 noi 2002
"Bourdain shows himself to be one of the country's best food writers. His opinions are as strong as his language, and his tastes as infectious as his joy." -Sam Sifton, New York Times Book Review
The only thing "gonzo gastronome" and internationally bestselling author Anthony Bourdain loves as much as cooking is traveling. Inspired by the question, "What would be the perfect meal?," Tony sets out on a quest for his culinary holy grail, and in the process turns the notion of "perfection" inside out. From California to Cambodia, A Cooks' Tour chronicles the unpredictable adventures of America's boldest and bravest chef.
Fans of Bourdain will find much to love in revisting this classic culinary and travel memoir.

Caracteristici
Descriere
Paperback edition of "Kitchen Confidential" author, Bourdain's culinary odussey around the world, which, as one might expect, is far from being a conventional culinary whistle-stop tour of traditional foodie hot spots. From Cambodia and Vietnam to Moscow and rural Mexico, via the French fishing village of his ancestors, Bourdain describes his journey in his trademark quick-fire, colourful style. A great combination of quality travel writing and culinary adventure, that should do really well this autumn. Forget Keith Floyd. Bourdain is the man. The accompanying TV series will be broadcast in Spring, 2003.
