For pure pleasure, few experiences are as satisfying as a
chance to explore the world’s great culinary traditions and
landmarks?and here, in the latest title of our popular
series of illustrated travel gift books, you’ll find a
fabulous itinerary of foods, dishes, markets, and
restaurants worth traveling far and wide to savor.
On
the menu is the best of the best from all over the globe:
Tokyo’s freshest sushi; the spiciest Creole favorites in New
Orleans; the finest vintages of the great French wineries;
the juiciest cuts of beef in Argentina; and much, much more.
You’ll sample the sophisticated dishes of fabled chefs and
five-star restaurants, of course, but you’ll also discover
the simpler pleasures of the side-street cafés that cater to
local people and the classic specialties that give each
region a distinctive flavor.
Every cuisine tells a
unique story about its countryside, climate, and culture,
and in these pages you’ll meet the men and women who
transform nature’s bounty into a thousand gustatory
delights. Hundreds of appetizing full-color illustrations
evoke an extraordinary range of tastes and cooking
techniques; a wide selection of recipes invites you to
create as well as consume; sidebars give a wealth of
entertaining information about additional sites to visit as
well as the cultural importance of the featured food; while
lively top ten lists cover topics from chocolate factories
to champagne bars, from historic food markets to wedding
feasts, harvest celebrations, and festive occasions of every
kind. In addition, detailed practical travel information
provides all the ingredients you’ll need to cook up a truly
delicious experience for even the most demanding of
traveling gourmets.
