I needed something lighter after reading Software Estimation, so I turned to my shelf to look for non-computer, non-business, non-finance related books that I had not yet read. There weren’t very many.
Lukily (as the book is on loan from a friend for about 15 months now), I found A Cook’s Tour by Anthony Bourdain. I loved his writing style in Kitchen Confidential: refreshingly direct and colourful.
I have high hopes for a similarly entertaining and colourful narrative about the cuisines and food cultures of exotic locations. I watched part of the television series by the same name, which was quite good – and the book is usually better than the video.
