Elisabeth Luard, one of the food world's most enjoyable and evocative freelance writers, has travelled extensively throughout her life, interacting with fascinating people, watching different cultures and uncovering amazing ingredients in uncommon places. In such a enchanting food memoir, she stocks tales and food compiled from her global ramblings. With refreshing honesty and ambiance, she recounts anecdotes of the numerous places she's visited: scouring for snails in Crete, sampling spectacular spices in Ethiopia and tasting pampered oysters in Tasmania. She identifies encounters with a cellarer in chief and a mushroom ruler and explains why stress is good news for fruit and veggies and how to identify a truffle lurking under an oak tree. Split into four landscapes - rivers, islands, deserts and forests - Elisabeth's tales are coupled with more than 50 traditional quality recipes, each one a representation of its unique place of origin, including Boston bean-pot, Hawaiian poke, Cretan bouboutie, mung-bean roti, roasted buttered coffee beans, Anzac biscuits and Sardinian lemon macaroons.
