From the star of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain's New York Times-bestselling chronicle of travelling the world in search of the globe's greatest culinary adventures.

"Bourdain shows himself to be one of the country's best food writers. His opinions are as strong as his language, and his tastes as infectious as his joy." - Sam Sifton, New York Times Book Review

The only thing "gonzo gastronome" and internationally bestselling author Anthony Bourdain loves as much as cooking is travelling. Inspired by the question, "What would be the perfect meal?", Tony sets out on a quest for his culinary holy grail and, in the process, turns the notion of "perfection" inside out. From California to Cambodia, A Cook's Tour chronicles the unpredictable adventures of America's boldest and bravest chef.

Fans of Bourdain will find much to love in revisiting this classic culinary and travel memoir.
