The World Is a Kitchen: True Stories of Cooking Your Way Through Culture [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

Divided into five world regions, The World Is a Kitchen explores the gastronomic side of travel. These true tales by noted writers cover everything from learning how to make coconut bread in an outdoor kitchen in Polynesia, to teaching Japanese housewives how to make salsa, to training under one of the world's top chefs, to trying mightily to impress one's in-laws by preparing snails. A wealth of recipes and a resource and reference section for finding cooking schools, classes, and culinary vacations are included.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

The term "foodie" has found its way into the dictionary. Defined as "a person with a particular interest in food; a gourmet," the interest in international cuisines has increased to the point that "The Guide to Cooking Schools 2005" (Shaw Guides) devotes almost half of its 358 pages to listings of cooking classes around the world for the recreational cook. From classes at the Cordon Bleu in Paris and the CIA in New York, to a small Bed and Breakfast in Tuscany and a therapeutic spa in Arizona, it is difficult to escape from food-related travel. Guidebooks devote a hefty portion of their tomes to restaurants and cuisine, cruise ships offer culinary classes in almost every port (as well as onboard), and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain has not only a tasty travel/food book and a TV show on the Travel Channel, but a mainstream Fox TV show based on his life and love of food.
