A Cook's Tour A Cook's Tour is the written record of Tony Bourdain's travels around the world in his search for the perfect meal. All too conscious of the state of his 44-year old knees (Crunch! Pop! Snap!) after a working life standing at restaurant stoves, but with the unlooked-for jackpot of Kitchen Confidential as collateral, Mr Bourdain evidently concluded he needed a bit more wind under his wings. . .more
Brunch Hugo’s friend Rick Stein has written a ‘message’ in the new book and he says “it’s great reading these books – ‘Breakfast’ and ‘Brunch’ – they are amusing as well as having some lovely recipes. Hugo has a strange sense of humour and some of these dishes are rather bizarre …Fried Worms is typical of him and the Spicy Beef Burritos must be famous for their lingering afterburn, right up my street as it happens. Indeed I'm going to make Hugo's fruit salad dressing with a dash of red chilli powder like they do in Vera Cruz”.
Brunch, we think, originated in America and as the name implies, should be eaten in-between or instead of breakfast and lunch. This usually informal feast can be eaten any day of the week but particularly on Sundays so it can be a leisurely experience. Eaten in your pyjamas surrounded by the Sunday papers.
Hugo, as always writes in a very humorous and personal style. The recipes are from here and abroad, are interesting, delicious and sometimes quite surprising. Hugo has always been a huge supporter of Brunch and in this book, he shares his endless repertoire of recipes and suggestions for this wonderful meal. . .more

Rick Stein's Mediterranean Escapes A favourite pastime of the English -- whenever the sky is grey -- is to thumb lovingly through sumptuous recipe books such as Rick Stein's Mediterranean Escapes and be transported to sunnier climes while (simultaneously) being inspired to tackle these delicious-sounding recipes. To read this book is very much like entering the exotic world the author unfolds for us, and Stein's culinary journey takes us through all the islands and along the coast of this exquisite region. For Stein, this is as much a book about the striking personalities he met along the route as he located the region's finest cuisine. And as the people he met reminded him over and over again, culinary ‘trends’ are simply not considered in this region: the crucial thing is the quality of the ingredients and who are the best producers of such essential commodities as olive oil. . .more

The Man Who Ate the World: In Search of the Perfect Dinner Jay Rayner chronicles the revolution in high-end gastronomy that has been sweeping the world since the late eighties. Not simply an account of endless meals in high-end restaurants, it is an exploration of the cities and cultures in which they are found; the inevitable involvement of Russian mafia in Moscow's luxury post-soviet catering business, Tokyo's efforts to fuse ancient Asian culture with Western ideas, and the feverish cult of the Manhattan restaurant in a town which considers itself the most cosmopolitan in the world. Part character-driven travelogue, part food critique, always sharp and often funny, this book is the result of Jay's lifelong campaign to find the perfect meal. Just don't read it if you're hungry. . .more
