I had a wonderful time in Laos a few years ago so I was so pleased to finally see a book which celebrates its delicious cuisine, but which also celebrates the country and its people, and really manages to captures the spirit of the place. The food is the raison d'etre for Natacha's trip but on the way she has some great adventures and meets a whole cast of beautifully drawn characters, and delves into the country's troubled history too. The lengths this woman will go to for a new culinary experience! Ants' eggs, silkworm grubs, fermented fish sauce - just some of the delicacies she tucks into with relish. A 'must-read' for anyone considering going to Laos or who has been and loved it, but also recommended for anyone who loves a really good travellers' yarn.
