Around the World in 80 dishes

One of the world's leading food photographers brings together some of the world's greatest chefs—including Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal, and Nigella Lawson—in a treasure-trove of treats from the four corners of the globeDavid Loftus is one of the world's leading food photographers: on the road 350 days of the year, camera in hand, shooting top chefs and their wonderful dishes from Battersea to New York to the Bahamas. Now he shares the most delicious cuisine he has come across on his travels with 80 recipes from the world's favorite chefs, in a collection following in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg and his famous Grand Tour, taking in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and America. These mouthwatering recipes come from international chefs and writers including Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, Gennaro Contaldo, Heston Blumenthal, and Atul Kochhar. Whether the recipes come from street-sellers or Michelin-starred restaurants, the dishes all evoke a taste of the places from which they hail, from Sybil's Sticky Orange, Kashmiri Chilli & Vodka Cake to Andaman Island Squid and Pineapple. Rich with the stories behind the recipes and impeccably stylish with arresting bellyband, ribbon, and illustrated endpapers, this is a dream anthology for committed cooks and amateurs alike. Recipes include dual measurements.
