Book Reviews of A Cook's Tour
Book Review: Delicious read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved eating vicariously through Bourdain and will recommend this book to anyone who's into food/cooking/travelling. The pursuit of the perfect meal sounds rather silly and impossible, which the author also acknowledges, but is fraught with lots of fun! I like Bourdain's candid writing style and found myself snickering/laughing/giggling while reading the book. There are also moments that I think anyone can identify with him, specifically, when he was reminiscing about foods he ate in his childhood.
As a cooking/baking/food enthusiast, I thought it's really cool to have a glimpse of the world from a chef's viewpoint. Before reading this book, I didn't like Anthony Bourdain because I thought he was intentionally abrasive and rude. However, after reading this book, I can't get enough of reading him. I wish I could watch the TV series of the same name somehow but there are no DVDs of it. Anyway, this is a totally worthy, fun read from start to finish!
