Food is its own destination in this photo-rich guide to hundreds of locales around the world where the meal one eats is the very point of traveling. It is divided into nine chapters that corral the deliciousness into browsable groups such as “remarkable markets,” “favorite street foods,” and “great food towns.” Further augmenting the chapter arrangement are side notes about food festivals, recipes, national dishes, historic food shops, street markets, food museums and factory tours, and much more. The design invites browsing—and dreaming. Whether readers are yearning to visit Thailand’s Damnoen Saduak or India’s Chandni Chowk, eat wild ramps in West Virginia or jerk pork in Jamaica, learn to cook in Beijing or spend a week eating their way across the tavernas of Greece, this abundant guide offers inspiration, plenty of grown-up picture-book pleasures, and just enough detail with which to start planning.
VERDICT A good choice to add to travel collections. Put it on display with cookbooks too, as the book gives equal time to the pleasures of both subjects.
