"Food Lover's Guide to the World ranges from Thailand to Finland, from street food to haute cuisine. Its descriptions and photos are so mouth-wateringly attractive that you probably shouldn't send a copy to your uncle,the Trappist monk. He'll straightaway jump the wall and hike into town for a triple cheeseburger and fries." Perceptive Travel "The photos are as tantalizing as the descriptions." Every Day with Rachael Ray "Yet it's a must-havefor anyone who pesters locals for restaurant ideas, pokes around food markets or buys dumpling ladles as souvenirs. A terrific resource before you travel, it also has enough recipes - from Spain's simple egg-potato tortilla to India's complex Hyderabadibiryani and Denmark's sweet flodeboller - to keep cooks happy." Chicago Tribune "The blend of in-depth history and culture and observations of worldwide food specialties and trends makes this a 'must' for culinary and travel holdingsalike!" Midwest Book Review "You'll lick your chops as you flip the pages of Food Lover's Guide to the World..." Passport Magazine "In the lavishly illustrated pages of this coffee-table tome, you'll find food and drinkfrom a host of countries, recipes (pork vindaloo from India, bibimap from South Korea) and explanations of local foods unique to those places." Los Angeles Times "This movable feast packs a dizzying array of personalstories by celebrity writers and chefs (i.e. Mark Bittman, Eric Ripert), travel notes, restaurant reviews, festival calendars, sumptuous and spontaneous photos. The armchair traveler in me visited Paris through its cheeses, Mumbai through its street food, Bangkok through its curry. Suits me; I travel to eat." Minneapolis Star Tribune "This is a book that begs to be savored page after delicious page... This book will have you salivating as pages and cultures unfold, and will have youplanning your next great culinary escape in no time." Wicked Good Travel Tips
