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 youre 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":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526951829792,"sku":"NEW0062293540","price":25.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mBD2ttKvL.jpg?v=1777225174","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-book-of-eating-adventures-in-professional-gluttony-0062293540","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
