If you have a lust for exciting food and travel, then I insist that you read ‘A Cook’s Tour’, the brilliant book (& TV series) by Anthony Bourdain. With every chapter, the renowned chef invites you to yet another faraway place, vividly describing his times with the locals and their wonderful foods & customs. I love the obscurity of many of his destinations & Bourdain speaks with such curiosity of the strange places he’s led to and such passion about the exotic food he tastes. I especially loved his chapters on Morocco, where Bourdain eats prime pigeon pie in Fez & feasts with nomadic Touregs in the desert, and on Mexico where the chef dines on fabulous goats head soup & the not so fabulous iguana tamales. Wonderful stuff!
