200 Kitchens Confessions of a Nomad cook eBook Gawain Barker Reviews
- 200 Kitchens is an entertaining read from the get go. I would describe it as a collection of short stories, that are stitched together to tell an honest but optimistic look into the life of a nomad chef. From chasing giant Goannas out of the kitchen on a remote island in far North Queensland. To the dreary dungeon like kitchen in the belly of a Swiss hotel. Once started its hard to put down. But, it's also a lot of fun sharing the short stories around a camp fire. Its easy reading and I would highly recommend 200 Kitchens to anyone who loves food, adventure and a good laugh.
- 200 Kitchens is centered around two of my favorite subjects, food and travel. It was very interesting to experience different cultures and personalities through the lens of food and its' preparations. You can see where the authors experiences have shaped his own value system, and how food can be the most effective form of diplomacy.
- Nicely paced entertaining read - with genuine laugh out loud moments, nice ruminations, and with settings from the exotic to the every-day painted in lively word imagery. A great insiders view of life in the commercial world of food. Thoroughly enjoyable!
- An interesting insight into the behind the scenes life of a chef in a variety of kitchens. Very enjoyable, would highly recommend.
- The author's story is ostensibly about cooking, and it is, but it is also about personalities, relationships, and perseverance. The book travels through many times, places, and circumstances (e.g. the rain forest above the great barrier reef in northeastern Australia or the bowels of a horrid Swiss hotel) and through it all he cooks and perseveres. He is clearly a good chef and a dependable hand; and his ability to manage a wide variety of challenging situations (as well as lucidly describe them) gives us the opportunity to participate in the mayhem with him. He is a funny and clever guy and I enjoyed reading about him. Give it a go.
