Description
Anthony Bourdain does not offer you a cookbook; he offers you a map of the world through the lens of its kitchens. In A Cook's Tour, the late, legendary gastronome takes you beyond the sanitized menus of tourist traps into the fermenting, charring, and searing realities of global cuisine. From the street food of Bangkok to the rugged bistros of the Basque Country, Bourdain's writing is as honest as it is hungry, stripping away the pretension of fine dining to reveal the poetry of food made with intent and passion.\n\nWhether you are a home cook or a seasoned traveler, this is a book that will change how you eat and how you see the world. Bourdain's prose is muscular and unpretentious, capturing the sweat and soul of the professional kitchen and the street stall alike. It is a memoir of a life lived at the table, and a manifesto for anyone who believes that food is the most intimate way to understand a culture. Order your EPUB copy today and join Bourdain on his final, unforgettable tour.
