"Like a great tapas meal, Gastro Obscura is deep yet snackable, and full of surprises. In these pages, you'll find riveting stories of human culture ancient and present, history, climate, mythology, commerce and geography -- all through the lens of that thing you thought you already knew: food. This is the book for anyone interested in eating, adventure and the human condition." --Tom Colicchio, chef and activist "Thumbing through this exquisite guide kept me at the breakfast table until dinner time." --Kyle Maclachlan, actor and vintner, "[An] encyclopedic odyssey... This compendium is a must-have." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "[ Gastro Obscura is a] hard-to-put-down book... Pick a region, pick a page--you can't go wrong. Armchair travelers and foodies will be left hungry, nostalgic, more knowledgeable about dishes from all over, and, most importantly, ready to try something different, whether it's found around the corner or across the world." -- Library Journal "Irresistible." -- Booklist "A tome to be savored" - Foreward Reviews "This captivating book celebrates the incredible global diversity of food, ingredients, and cooking practices. What could be more important in this moment in time than to be so delightfully engaged in the many ways food cultivates--through sometimes eccentric means!--a profound sense of togetherness." --Alice Waters, chef and author of We Are What We Eat: A Slow Food Manifesto "An ambitious, exciting, and zany anthology of heritage foodways, Gastro Obscura tells the stories no one else is telling. In creating a magnum opus that manages to be simultaneously daring as well as fundamentally delicious, this is a culinary high-wire act of culinary anthropology that delivers on its promise and then some. A must-read for anyone who eats." --Dan Barber, chef and author of The Third Plate "This book is an incredible celebration of diversity - the many fascinating ways that humanity has figured out how to feed itself. To me, it is really about preservation, the power and importance of remembering old customs and local traditions in order to help us better understand our world today ... and into the future." --José Andrés, chef, restaurateur, and founder of World Central Kitchen "Like a great tapas meal, Gastro Obscura is deep yet snackable, and full of surprises.
