Food Travel: Eating Your Way Around the World

You can visit a city and never taste it. The hotel breakfast, the restaurant by the hotel, the safe menu in English — and you go home having seen a place without ever eating in it. Travellers who remember trips by taste know the loss: the stall you walked past, the market you meant to visit, the morning you slept through.

This 289-page handbook is for travellers who plan trips around food, and want to do it well. You will walk twenty stalls and corners of record, twenty markets and twenty mornings of the world, with a spice atlas, a bread atlas, cheese and dairy pilgrimages, and a festival calendar for eating the year.

You will learn the booking order for a food trip, how to budget three food capitals in full, how to eat alone or together with confidence, and how to find, taste, learn and remember food wherever you travel — at stalls, markets, breakfast tables and festivals, not just at white-tablecloth restaurants.

This is for street-food lovers, market wanderers, cooking-class takers and anyone who remembers trips by taste. It is not for travellers who eat only to refuel — this book will slow you down, sit you at the stall, and ruin fast food for you, in the best way.

A short guide gives you a restaurant list. A complete handbook gives you a method.

You will also learn how to ask for what you want in markets where you do not share a language, and how to spot the stall the locals queue for.

Get the complete handbook today for only $10.49 — and travel deliciously.
