{"product_id":"9780062944887","title":"The Book of Eating : Adventures in Professional Gluttony (Large Print)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wildly hilarious and irreverent memoir of a globe-trotting life lived meal-to-meal by one of our most influential and respected food critics As the son of a diplomat growing up in places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, Adam Platt didn't have the chance to become a picky eater. Living, traveling, and eating in some of the most far-flung locations around the world, he developed an eclectic palate and a nuanced understanding of cultures and cuisines that led to some revelations which would prove important in his future career as a food critic. In Tokyo, for instance--\"a kind of paradise for nose-to-tail cooking\"--he learned that \"if you're interested in telling a story, a hair-raisingly bad meal is much better than a good one. From dim sum in Hong Kong to giant platters of Peking duck in Beijing, fresh-baked croissants in Paris and pierogi on the snowy streets of Moscow, Platt takes us around the world, re-tracing the steps of a unique, and lifelong, culinary education. Providing a glimpse into a life that has intertwined food and travel in exciting and unexpected ways, The Book of Eating is a delightful and sumptuous trip that is also the culinary coming-of-age of a voracious eater and his eventual ascension to become, as he puts it, \"a professional glutton.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Newbury House Publishers,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45376695959631,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1085.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780062944887-1.jpg?v=1784954155","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780062944887","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
