A Cook’s Tour. ( ISBN: 1582341400 )
In search of the perfect meal.
The only thing Anthony Bourdain loves as much as cooking is traveling, and this book is the shotgut marriage of his two greatest passions. Inspired by the question, "What would be the perfect meal?", Tony sets out on a quest for his culinary holy grail.
In this book, the adventurous chef crisscrosses the world sampling local delicacies from the sublime to the bizarre. In Japan, he eats traditional Fugu, a poisonous blowfish that can be prepared only by specially licensed chefs. He travels to Cambodia, up the mine-studded road to Pailin into Penh's Gun Club, where local fare is served up alongside a menu of available firearms. In Saigon, he's treated to a sustaining meal of live cobra heart before moving on to savor a snack with the Viet Cong in the Mekong Delta. Further west, an entire Portuguese village has been fattening a pig for month in anticipation of his arrival.
To Moscow and London, the Sahara and Mexico, to the lochs of Scotland and back home again, Bourdain's literary touches every corner of the globe.
Throughout his travels, Bourdain discovers again and again the importance of community, of kinship, and the power of food to bring people together. Written in Bourdain's characteristic bite and bravado, this book chronicles the unpredictable and tantalizing adventures and misadventures of America's favorite chef.
