One of the coolest projects I worked on this year was contributing to 1001 Restaurants You Must Experience Before You Die – an “essential reference guide for anyone who adores food and eating out” compiled by experts of fine cuisine and edited by the delightful and extremely knowledgeable Jenny Linford (with forward by Jay Rayner).
My part was minimal. But still, it was a lot of fun getting to write about some of my favourite eats – from pizza in Naples, Italy to percebes on northwest coast of Spain as well as the best BBQ in Alabama and cactus worm tacos and more examples of pre-Hispanic cookery in Mexico City.
A new addition to the popular 1001 Before You Die series of books is published by Octopus in the UK back in October (and by Barrons in the USA, Murdoch Books in Australia, and Allen & Unwin in New Zealand), the book is available at Amazon as well as at quality bookstores across the UK, America and beyond. It would make a fantastic Christmas prezzie for any foodie or travel hound in your life (it’s still time to get things shipped before the 25th, right?).
Bon appetit and happy reading!
