Drawn from cuisines around the globe--French, Italian, Chinese and Indian, but also Senegalese, Lebanese, Thai and good old-fashioned American--here are the tastes, ingredients, restaurants, dishes and recipes (more than 70) that every food lover should experience or dream about, whether it's dinner at Chicago's Alinea, the perfect empanada, or a stroll in the markets of Palermo. Joyous, surprising, informative, and described in each mouthwatering detail, each entry shines with the passion of one of the world's most celebrated food writers saying: You must try this. Nuts-and-bolts information at the end of each entry tells you where to taste the dish or find the ingredients, and where to go for the best recipes or find further information.
