top ten tuesday

For this week I’m choosing books where you get to travel along on someone else’s adventures.

Norally started in India on her motorcycle and rode through southeast Asia. Then she shipped the bike to the Middle East and started riding again before riding back home to the Netherlands.

This book is part cookbook and part travelogue. You can eat your way from China to Iran.

Travel from Argentina to Egypt with Inez to figure out the mystery of her parents’ death.

How often to you get to read a book set in Madagascar? This is a trip around the island highlighting local food industries like vanilla and caviar.

You’ll travel mostly around the Amazon basin looking for the best sources of native strains of cacao in this book.

Could you make it from Pekin-to-Paris in a car that you have to crank to start?
