Natacha Du Pont De Bie is no ordinary tourist. She is a self-proclaimed food tourist she can't think of a better way to experience a country and its culture than through its cuisine. And the more obscure the better.
She'll trek for hours or even days in search of a good lunch. So when Natacha found out that there was only one cookbook on Lao cuisine, by the late king's chef, she promptly decided that the challenge of hunting down recipes and sharing a new gastronomy the undiscovered relative of Thai and Vietnamese food was just too tempting. Ant Egg Soup is the result of her adventures in Laos, the stories of the people she met, the places she visited and, of course, the food she tasted: drinking raw turkey blood with herbs in a tribal village and sampling fried crickets during the Festival of the Golden Stupa are just a few examples.
