{"product_id":"a-cooks-tour","title":"A Cook's Tour","description":"'It works extremely well. In large part because Bourdain is a very funny writer; sharp, honest and with a beguiling mix of belligerence and sensitivity' Sunday Telegraph 'Brilliantly written up in a raw, stylish gonzo prose, with pitch-black humour and a devilish turn of phrase' Evening Standard ____________________ Anthony Bourdain, life-long line cook and bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential, sets off to eat his way around the world. But being Anthony Bourdain, this was never going to be a conventional culinary tour. Bourdain heads out to Saigon where he eats the still-beating heart of a live cobra, and travels deep into landmined Khmer Rouge territory to find the rumoured Wild West of Cambodia (Pailin). Other stops include dining with gangsters in Russia, a medieval pig slaughter and feast in northern Portugal, the Basque All Male Gastronomique Society in Saint Sebastian, rural Mexico with his Mexican sous-chef, a pilgrimage to the French Laundry in the Napa Valley and a return to his roots in the tiny fishing village of La Teste, where he first ate an oyster as a child. Written with the inimitable machismo and humour that has made Tony Bourdain such a sensation, A Cook's Tour is an adventure story sure to give you indigestion.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: Bourdain, Anthony,author\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Bourdain, Anthony,author\u003cbr\u003eBinding: paperback\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Pages: 288\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\u003cbr\u003eEdition: New\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 7 Oct 2002\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Anthony Bourdain\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 198x129x17 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 20x198x125 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): 1050\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 200","brand":"Bloomsbury Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53249062502697,"sku":"BK0747558213","price":86.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/9780747558217.jpg?v=1786308708","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/en-au\/products\/a-cooks-tour","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
