Jodi Ettenberg’s Food traveller’s handbook is an evocative and practical distillation of hard lessons and culinary highs experienced over a decade and then some of long-haul adventures. There’s a patina of authenticity flowing through her writing which stems from both the grand scale of this former lawyer’s escapades (if the Canadian Passport Authority had a loyalty programme, Jodi would be flashing double platinum at immigration) and the author’s changing travel persona – from vacationer throug...more

The Food Traveler’s Handbook is a guide book on how to find cheap and delicious food safely anywhere in the world. The book is filled with practical advice on eating beyond the tourist restaurants and Jodi relates many of the food travel tips through her own personal experiences on the road. Her personal stories are entertaining and inspiring and it has made me reassess my view on how food and travel relate. I recommend this book for beginners and veteran travellers alike.

Instead of a review of my own book (poor form, no? ;) I thought I'd use this space to explain a bit of why I decided to write it. I grew up in a household that was not focused on food, and it was during my travels that I learned about foods from far-flung places and how they changed over the course of a country's history. Regions had a distinct way of cooking and spicing, and a geographic food footprint to call their own.

interesting book, good tips. however, there's a lot of repetitions, and if you've already read her blog a lot, you know most of the infos she mentions in the book. great list of resources though!
Fun, educational, quick read.
