A rich personal tapestry of entertaining anecdotes from Diane Holuigue's travels, this book weaves a food-lover's tale of the world's colourful cultural diversity and its relationship to food.
Feast on spit-roasted lamb on the Greek island of Cephalonia at Easter, feel the tide lapping at your feet as you enjoy wok-fried sand crabs in a Portsea boathouse, relish tantalising aromas of a Moroccan "souk" or the spice shops of a Turkish bazaar. Come with Diane as she samples goose-necked barnacles on Canada's Vancouver Island, visits the Lyon markets with legendary chef Paul Bocuse, plucks a meal for a Danish chef's garden, or eats from a street stall along the flooded Mekong in Cambodia.
A Book for armchair travellers and gourmets alike, Diane's stories are witty, warm and wonderful. Each culinary voyage is accompanied by inspiring local recipes and Diane's easy instructions ensure you can recreate them in your own kitchen.
