For pure pleasure, few experiences are as satisfying as a chance to explore the world’s great culinary traditions and landmarks. Food Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 Extraordinary Places to Eat Around the Globe brings a fabulous itinerary of foods, dishes, markets, and restaurants worth traveling far and wide to savor. On the menu is the best of the best from all over the globe: Tokyo’s freshest sushi, the spiciest Creole favorites in New Orleans, the finest vintages of the great French wineries, the juiciest cuts of beef in Argentina; and much, much more. You’ll sample the sophisticated dishes of fabled chefs and five-star restaurants, of course, but you’ll also discover the simpler pleasures of the side-street cafés that cater to local people and the classic specialties that give each region a distinctive flavor.

Every cuisine tells a unique story about its countryside, climate, and culture, and in these pages you’ll meet the men and women who transform nature’s bounty into a thousand gustatory delights. Hundreds of appetizing full-color illustrations evoke an extraordinary range of tastes and cooking techniques; a wide selection of recipes invites you to create as well as consume; sidebars give a wealth of entertaining information about additional sites to visit as well as the cultural importance of the featured food; while lively top ten lists cover topics from chocolate factories to champagne bars, from historic food markets to wedding feasts, harvest celebrations, and festive occasions of every kind. In addition, detailed practical travel information provides all the ingredients you’ll need to cook up a truly delicious experience for even the most demanding of traveling gourmets.

Once in a Lifetime Trips: The World's 50 Most Extraordinary and Memorable Travel Experiences covers everything from fly-fishing in the virgin waters of the Chilean fjords, to navigating Alaska on a boat as luxurious as a four-star hotel but small enough to sail where the big cruise ships can’t, and even to embarking on a private-jet tour to the great opera houses in Europe with behind-the-scenes passes. Once in a Lifetime Trips is a trove of ideas for travels that are unique, decadent, and off the beaten path.

Each trip is captured through stunning photography and an essay based on in-depth interviews with experts who have firsthand knowledge of the destination and itinerary. Once in a Lifetime Trips goes way beyond what a standard guide offers: these trips are intended to be distinctive events that you will remember for the rest of your life. Organized by destination (on the ocean, on an island, in the jungle, in the mountains and the desert, in the country, in the city, in the sky), Once in a Lifetime Trips is as much a vicarious and thrilling reading experience as it is a source of ideas and inspiration for anyone in search of a remarkable journey. Buy It Now!
