A Cook's Tour

By Anthony Bourdain

Categories: Cookbooks, Food & Wine

Anthony Bourdain travels the world in search of the perfect meal in this book, written alongside his first television series of the same name. He eats poisonous fugu in Japan, a still-beating cobra heart in Vietnam and a freshly slaughtered pig in a Portuguese village, and visits Cambodia, Russia, Morocco, Mexico and the French town of his childhood summers. Along the way he reflects on food, culture and the people who cook for him. The book was published in 2001.
