Download or read book A Cook's Tour written by Anthony Bourdain and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '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.
Book Synopsis Quicklet on A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain by : Shauna Korinne Patton
Download or read book Quicklet on A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain written by Shauna Korinne Patton and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-04 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quicklets: Your Reading Sidekick! ABOUT THE BOOK Viewed simply, A Cooks Tour is one mans quest to discover just what the perfect meal might be. Unfortunately, things are rarely so cut and dried. As Bourdains travels, at least for this book, took place pre-September 11th, there is still a little elasticity in the travel. Yes, Bourdain experiences certain moments of unease while on his journey, but not in the way that travelers are forced to take added precautions today. Food is the great equalizer: a shared passion, simply made up of different ingredients, depending on where you are in the world. It is able to evoke the strong, visceral reactions related not only to taste, but also touch, smell, sound, and sight. Given foods shared cultural arc, its not a stretch to see how something as basic as food could be considered transformative. MEET THE AUTHOR Shauna Patton grew up in the wilds of Northern California and thus removed from populous cities, she turned to the expanse of her imagination for entertainment. This would include writing short stories and plays, and roping unsuspecting friends/family into producing and performing. This led to a four year tenure at UC Santa Cruz, where she majored in Theatre Arts, with a year abroad at a University in Southern England. When not concocting crazy stories, she loves to watch movies (especially Bollywood, anything Christian Bale and 1940's film noir), read, knit, watch the Dropkick Murphy's in concert, rock out to cheesy 80's pop and hang out with friends. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Inspired by the idea of the perfect meal, Anthony Bourdains novel A Cooks Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines is part foodie travel diary and part memoir of the man himself. Not for those with weak stomachs, Bourdain launches himself on a tour around the globe on a quest for good food, movie-style adventure and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Whether hes chowing down on the still-beating heart of a cobra in Vietnam, lamb gonads in the Sahara, haggis in Scotland, or shuddering through the horrors of birds nest soup, Bourdains food encounters offer a great sensory delight for the reader, especially secondhand. Much of the developed world is far removed from their food. There is little knowledge about the actual gathering and preparation of food, as the glossy supermarkets hide the behind-the-scenes carnage. As Bourdain notes, Respecting the ingredients may no longer be an economic necessity in much of the emerging world; it is now a pleasure, to be experienced and enjoyed at ones chosen time and place. Bourdains quest for culinary excellence is grandiose: I knew that the best meal in the world...is rarely the most sophisticated or expensive one...context and memory play powerful roles in the truly great meals in ones life.

Download or read book The Burns Supper written by Clark McGinn and published by Luath Press Ltd. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annual celebration of the life and works of the poet Robert Burns is held in Scotland and across the globe around the anniversary of the poet's birthday in the form of a convivial dinner with particular, some may say peculiar, ritual traditions. When the Reverend Hamilton Paul agreed to arrange the first anniversary dinner for Robert Burns' patrons and friends in July 1801, he began a tradition that quite soon became a global celebration. Over two hundred years later, Burns Suppers are held all over the world to commemorate the life and work of a poet beloved wherever people celebrate life, love and liberty. From its beginning with nine Scotsmen in Burns Cottage, to today, where over nine million people join in the Burns Supper festivities, from the USA to Russia, Australia to China, and somewhere near you. The long and happy story of Burns Night is explored in this history of the annual event which has been called 'the biggest party in the world'.

Book Synopsis Haggis Rules! by : Ian Craig Murray Myers
Download or read book Haggis Rules! written by Ian Craig Murray Myers and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Sun Never Sets On The Scots", nor on the Immortal Works of Robert Burns. These original poems pay unique tribute to Mither Scotland, her Bairns and her National Bard. They also salute, and occasionally tease the countless Burnsophiles who celebrate his Life and his Birthday every year, all over the World.Written to entertain those of his ilk at home and abroad, this Scottish author offers a hilarious and frequently thought-provoking collection of poetry in Scottish dialect. These comical yet insightful verses cover subjects and characters cherished by the Scottish diaspora who revere Robert Burns, the man and his natural genius. The title reflects the dominant, albeit tasteful reign of "The Chieftain o' The Puddin-Race" as the traditional formalities of these "Burns Night" celebrations get under way. With absolutely no intention of competing with the genius of Scotland's National Bard, this collection is intended to provide additional fun after all the traditions are observed. Although written in various poetic forms, and some are somewhat unorthodox, they are relatively easy to read or recite. This is achieved by the mix of Broad Scots, Glaswegian and Standard English wording, together with the consistent rhythmic flow and conversational style employed.The author expresses sincere hopes that his readers will derive as much pleasure from "Haggis Rules!" as he has from Rabbie's songs and poems over the years. Illustrating these hilarious verses are the wickedly appropriate cartoons by Scott Relth.
Book Synopsis In the Interests of Safety by : Tracey Brown
Download or read book In the Interests of Safety written by Tracey Brown and published by Sphere. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does an airline pilot really need to surrender his tweezers at airport security when he's about to board an aircraft equipped with an axe on the back of the cockpit door? Can a mobile phone really cause a major explosion at a gas station? And is there really a good reason why you should be be prevented from swimming in a lake more than a foot deep? These rules exist, and they exist in the name of our own protection. But in this engrossing dissection of global health, safety and security regulations, authors Tracey Brown and Michael Hanlon dig a little deeper to discover the real reasons behind many of the instructions we obey without questioning their creators' motives. Their conclusions range from the startling to the staggering, and in presenting them the authors seek to empower readers to question the people and organisations who come up with them in the first place. Previously published as In the Interests of Safety.

Book Synopsis Between Law and Diplomacy by : Joseph Conti
Download or read book Between Law and Diplomacy written by Joseph Conti and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Law and Diplomacy crafts an insider's look at international trade disputes at one of the most important institutions in the global economy—the World Trade Organization. The WTO regulates the global rules for trade, and—unique among international organizations—it provides a legalized process for litigation between countries over trade grievances. Drawing on interviews with trade lawyers, ambassadors, trade delegations, and trade jurists, this book details how trade has become increasingly legalized and the implications of that for power relations between rich and poor countries. Joseph Conti looks closely at who uses the system to initiate and pursue disputes, who settles and on what terms, and the relative disconnect between pursuing a dispute and what a country gains through efforts to gain compliance with WTO dictates. Through this inside look at the process of disputing, Conti provides fresh perspective on how and why the law authorizes the use of specific resources and tactics in the ever unfolding struggle for control in the global economy.
