Post-COVID times brought a shared sentiment of pulling back the curtains. A desire to change the way we viewed life and the world around us. This book is a product of that time. It is satiating, not only for its culinary excerpts but for its historical ones, too. This book doesn't shy away from informing the reader about the histories of some of the most popular (and least popular) destinations, even at the risk of calling out certain first world countries.

If you are new to traveling, or you just want some inspiration on where to visit next, I highly recommend this book. Browse through it as if looking through a menu. See what looks good and go from there.
