Description
A first UK edition, first printing of A Cook’s Tour by Anthony Bourdain, published by Bloomsbury, London in 2001. A near fine copy free from inscriptions, some shelf-wear to the black cloth boards, toning to the text block. In a similarly near fine unclipped wrapper with some pushing to the extremities.
Anthony Bourdain’s A Cook’s Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal follows the chef’s culinary adventures across the world. From Vietnamese street food to elaborate restaurant dining, he explores how culture, memory and hospitality shape what we eat. Written with irreverent humour and vivid honesty, this travel memoir celebrates adventurous eating while questioning what makes a meal extraordinary. As A A Gill said, ‘Elizabeth David written by Quentin Tarantino.’
