Book Description
A Moveable Feast presents a collection of travellers' tales set around the world, written by a well-seasoned spectrum of contributors, from celebrity chefs and best-selling travel writers to never-before-published travellers. The theme threading through this delectable multi-course concoction will be the inimitable ability of food to inspire our serendipities, satiate our senses, and enlighten our journeys -- in short, to transform the planet into an endless all-you-can-eat buffet for mind, soul, and stomach. A Moveable Feast includes 38 Stories from chefs, food writers & travel writers: Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, Matthew Fort, Simon Winchester Jan Morris, Henry Shukman, Alexander Lobrano, Larry Habegger, Pico Iyer, Lawrence Millman, Anthony Sattin, Naomi Duguid, Rhona McAdam, Tim Cahill, Stanley Stewart, Sean McLachlan, Laurence Mitchell, Amanda Jones, Doug Mack, Stefan Gates, David Downie, Mark Kurlansky, Liz MacDonald, Jeff Greenwald, Elisabeth Eaves, David Lebovitz, Matt Preston, Laura Fraser, Anita Breland, Emily Matchar, Jim Benning, Jeffrey Alford, William Sertl, Ruth Rabin, Andrew McCarthy, Karen Coates, John Newman and Johanna Gohmann.

Perfect gift for my foodie husband!, July 6 2011
By Game Lover - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet A Moveable Feast: Life-Changing Food Encounters Around the World (Paperback)
This was the first food book I've ever been able to surprise my husband with (he's usually in line for the latest as soon as it comes out) - and it was a home run! He loved the essay format, which let him bounce around from one food writer to another without needing to go in any order - and the mix of authors, from the very famous like Bourdain to lesser-known food writers offered a nice varied diet for the reader. A great gift for anyone who loves to eat and travel!

Orange juice and molecular gastronomy, Jan 30 2011
By J. Varney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet A Moveable Feast: Life-Changing Food Encounters Around the World (Paperback)
An interesting selection of short stories which range from unexpected tea with indian guru's to the wonders of molecular gastronomy. Many of the writers are well known from TV cookery shows and newspaper columns and the style of writing varies hugely from casual conversations to more in depth gastronomic discourse. However it is the simplest stories closest to home which often are the most moving and engaging, and the one about a glass of fresh orange juice in Italy has a moral for us all...
