Description

Travel Bites is a collection of short stories that crisscross the globe. It is the first work by The Hungry Traveller who has combined his two great life passions: travelling and eating! The Hungry Traveller has been travelling for the last fifteen years and, along the way, has experienced many different sights, tastes, smells and cultures. Central to his travel experiences has been the role of food. Through his unique and very personal style of storytelling, you too can share in the highs and the lows of his stories from around the world. At the end of each story is a recipe for a dish inspired by his adventure.

Advance Praise

"The Hungry Traveller combines two of the great pleasures of life, travelling and eating, to bring you a book full of fantastic sights, tastes and cultures. For 15 years the Hungry Traveller has been roaming the world sightseeing and, of course, sampling food from different cultures. He brings the two together with these memories and recipes. An easy read that will have you yearning to pack your bags and head off for an overseas adventure." Linda Hall, Books Editor, Hawke's Bay Today newspaper

“Warning: Do Not Read If You Are Hungry! In a slight departure from my usual kind of travel read (I am a BIG travel writing fan), last week I zigzagged my way across the globe courtesy of Travel Bite’ by The Hungry Traveller. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, to start with I was waiting for the ladle loads and second helpings of humor… but they never happened… and initially I felt a little like a deflated souffle. You see, my typically favorite travel book would have the perfect mix of descriptive sightseeing peppered with rollicking gaffes – think Danny Wallace, Dave Gorman and Tony Hawks! However, (a word The Hungry Traveller likes to use in spoonful’s) by the time I reached his third chapter – and fear not, the chapters are small, bite-sized and packed to the rafters with helpful information and mouthwatering depictions – I was hooked. True, it may have had something to do with my love of a good Singapore Sling, but I think I had also started to feel I was getting to know something more of the author’s personality, his no-nonsense approach, sense of adventure and jolly-hockey-sticks-style of getting out there, seeing the world and blending in with the locals. This book is so much more than accounts of viewing a new place as a tourist, it’s about embracing the culture, cuisine and above all, the people. Travel Bites is the perfect book for the foodie adventurer. Travel Bites is a fabulous cookbook. Travel Bites is full of sunsets. Travel Bites is informative. Travel Bites is spontaneous.” Miss Pollyanna, The Glass House Girls
