A Cook's Tour – Anthony Bourdain
!
Regrettably, I find very little time to read, but having delved into Anthony Bourdain's first novel, Kitchen Confidential, I sort of knew what was coming with A Cook's Tour. It's a pretty simple formula incorporating Bourdain's witty, tell-it-how-you-see-it style. As the title suggests, Bourdain goes on a voyage of discovery in search of the perfect meal. He travels to some far-flung locations on his quest, from a nostalgic visit to France, where he holidayed as a child and realised his passion for flavour, to Spain, Russia, Mexico, Vietnam and even the kitchen of our own Gordon Ramsay, sharing with us many special and once-in-a-lifetime experiences along the way. The book makes an informative and interesting account of how food brings us together, provides an insight into some familiar places and introduces us to many others. A Cook's Tour is a bit of a gastro-style Around The World In 80 Days with Anthony Bourdain leading the way. I would highly recommend it and will definitely enjoy reading it again.
