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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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, \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Eating\u003c\/em\u003e 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":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48836065624269,"sku":"9780062293558","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_2f75fbbe-60da-4e07-8c62-b73deab73628.jpg?v=1790992667","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/the-book-of-eating","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
