Lonely Planet: The world's leading travel guide publisher*
Life-changing food adventures around the world.
From bat on the island of Fais to chicken on a Russian train to barbecue
in the American heartland, from mutton in Mongolia to couscous in
Morocco to tacos in Tijuana - on the road, food nourishes us not only
physically, but intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually too. It can
be a gift that enables a traveller to survive, a doorway into the heart
of a tribe, or a thread that weaves an indelible tie; it can be awful or
ambrosial - and sometimes both at the same time. Celebrate the riches
and revelations of food with this 38-course feast of true tales set
around the world.
Features stories by Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, Mark
Kurlansky, Matt Preston, Simon Winchester, Stefan Gates, David Lebovitz,
Matthew Fort, Tim Cahill, Jan Morris and Pico Iyer. Edited by Don
