Food Journeys of a Lifetime

February 1, 2010
Chilis in Santa Fe, NM, seafood in Sydney, Australia, and street food in Vietnam are just some of the delicious topics covered in this beautifully designed volume in a series of National Geographic coffee-table travel books (e.g., "Journeys of a Lifetime" and "Sacred Places of a Lifetime"). Foodies and travelers will enjoy thumbing through the pages and identifying the food they have tasted and/or would love to experience in these locales. The book is arranged thematically, by ingredients and by kinds of food markets, street foods, and great food towns. Page-length entries feature fabulous color photographs, a descriptive summary, brief planning information, and useful web sites. VERDICT A large book that's more appropriate for browsing than in-depth travel planning or carrying along on your trip this lovely volume will help travelers and, in particular, traveling foodies decide where to go next. Highly recommended.Louise Feldmann, Colorado State Univ. Lib., Fort Collins
