The beautiful photografies, mostly featuring individuals in their specific cultural and geographical environment are added a culinary dimension, at the end of poignant personal histories.
My favourite section is representing Uruguay, for the dramatism of the photographies and the interesting recipes, Talking about recipes, the focus is on the culinary individuality of dishes introduces through the particular travel story, Food is, in fact, a companion during the telling and listening of stories and I was particulary impressed by the refugees stories from Pas de Calais, France.
It is a book about more than impressions, going deep into the texture of places,

Learn of traditional Hawaiian, Kenyan and Icelandic cooking techniques, just to name a few, Perfect for travellers and culinary whizzes alike,

Anastasia The Book Grocer Filled with gorgeous photos of people around the world and their traditional foods, it makes a great coffee table book and conversation piece.
I like that it includes some cultures that I wouldn't necessarily be familiar with their normal diet, such as Iceland or Kenya.
such a beautiful book part travel log, part cook book although there are limited recipies,
mostly the people groups in the books are those that are small isolated communites that are not well celebrated in the world of cook books.
I was also very interested in the section on a refugee camp in Calais,
I wished there were more recipies but in reality it was just a taste, Beautiful pictures amp interesting recipes that tell a story of how people eat around the world, . . really puts a day of eating in America into a different light, What a gorgeous book and a sensitive documentation of so many interesting food traditions, I especially appreciated the chapter on the refugee settlement in Calais: a great record of human ingenuity in many realms, including food, and I'm especially glad there's a record of it, as the camp has since been cleared.


There are recipes included, but TBH I haven't tried any yet, Probably my first goto will be the chimichurri I didn't realize until I read the section on the Argentine pampas that the sauce was made in such enormous quantities and meant to keep for a while.
Overall, I appreciate that the recipes do not seem to have been "adapted" for my kitchen I much prefer when they're recorded as is, because that knowledge should be retained.
Oh my God, what a book, Seriously. Exquisite photography and engaging commentary surround a sampling of recipes from the most remote corners of the world, I believe my life will be forever changed by the introduction of Kahawa coffee and pineapple pie, I wasn't expecting such a contemporary perspective, but the inclusion of The Junglea refugee camp in Calaisjust pushed an already extraordinary food and travel journal into a class of its own.

Far Afield: Rare Food Encounters from Around the World by Shane Mitchell is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early October.


Mitchell wanders throughout each continent except the arctics and Australia, kindles a narration with the natives there, presents photos that've been captured with a utilitarian and almost jetlagged filter/lens, and offers recipes that servewith bold, fresh, filling flavors.

The photos alone are incredibly beautiful and I think this book really serves a travel guide purpose! Or at least travelinspiring.

ed for the Blogging for Books program, I loved this combination of food and travel and stories of personal connection in farflung places, and I loved how the recipes felt truly sourced in the moments she describes, rather than more generalised 'and here is something some people in this place cook'.
