Divided into five world regions, The World Is a Kitchen explores the gastronomic side of travel. These true tales by noted writers cover everything from learning how to make coconut bread in an outdoor kitchen in Polynesia, to teaching Japanese housewives how to make salsa, to training under one of the world's top chefs, to trying mightily to impress one’s in-laws by preparing snails. A wealth of recipes and a resource and reference section for finding cooking schools, classes, and culinary vacations are included.

About the Author

When Michele Anna Jordan was offered a live sago worm at a farmers' market in Serian, Sarawak (one of two Malaysian states on the island of Borneo), she politely declined. It is the only food she has ever refused during cooking and eating adventures in dozens of countries on four continents. She ate durian in Kuala Lumpur and after her first bite of mangosteen bought a kilo and returned to her hotel, where she quickly devoured all of them. Jordan has written about food, cooking, culture and travel in newspapers, magazines, anthologies, and in sixteen cookbooks to date, including California Home Cooking, The New Cook's Tour of Sonoma, Salt & Pepper, and The BLT Cookbook. Her radio show "Mouthful" is available as a podcast at iTunes and Yahoo. Jordan teaches unique in-home cooking classes and is currently at work on several new books.Susan Brady has been cooking up a storm in the Travelers' Tales kitchen for the past fourteen years, preparing and plating almost 100 travel books.

A member of the International Food, Wine, and Travel Writers' Association, she is known as Mrs.Susan and her busy stove reside in the suburbs outside of San Francisco, California.
