A Cook's Tour is a book written by chef Anthony Bourdain in 2001. It details his quest for the "perfect meal". An astonishing account, Bourdain travels to many far-off places including Portugal, France, Vietnam, Russia, Morocco, Japan, Cambodia, Mexico, Spain, and even Napa Valley. He tries such exotic dishes as still beating cobra heart and soft-boiled duck embryo (with half formed bones and feathers). The book was simultaneously made into a TV series starring Bourdain for the Food Network.
