Some reservations
A less than perfect meal
Watching
"No Reservations" it all seems so unscripted, so shoot from the hip, so
take it as it comes. And I love that. It is the world of the
traveller. But that is my problem with this book ... I have seen the TV
series and this is just a write up of the events so the spontaneity was
missing.
Maybe if I had read this first ... If only I had read this first ...
I loved Kitchen Confidential - laughed till my eyes watered, salivated over the food, thought it should be the book in the hand of every would-be apprentice chef. A Cook's Tour
contained humour (though not as barbed or insightful), travel,
food, - all the right ingredients - but it didn't engage me. It was a
little bit of a jumble with some chapters better than others. But it all felt more contrived in provoking reader (or viewer) reaction.
