A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines by Anthony Bourdain
3.0
I really enjoyed this book, obviously not enough to finish asap but I did enjoy it, especially every part that involved Vietnam. Yeah, I’m being bias but despite the money hungry Vietnamese nail salon stereotypes, Vietnam has great food and I really appreciate that a culinary expert has the stomach to try and actually enjoy what Vietnam, and Asia has to offer. Kudos to you, man. I only know a handful of people, not including my family, that like durian.
The book is centers on one question, “What is the perfect meal?” How would you even approach this question? Doesn’t it depend on what you are in the mood to eat? Bourdain goes to different countries, recalling his experiences trying new things. Spoiler alert, there isn’t a perfect meal, but there are many meals that are perfect. Food is an adventure in its own, and it should be enjoyed. Reading this book actually made me think back on how picky many people are now about food and how I was when I was younger. Stop wasting your lives, picky eaters! This books makes me want to drop everything and then eat everything, but its not that convincing.
Overall rating: 3/5 I enjoyed it. Didn’t love it.
