Brilliant. Not so much about food as it is about people and family. Great writing

Far Afield: Rare Food Encounters from Around the World by Shane Mitchell (author) and James Fisher (photographer) both satiates and triggers my wanderlust. This book combines some of my favorite things – books, food, travel, and people around the world composed with amazing photography. In going through this book, Maya Angelou's words come to mind. "We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike." In today's world, we need this reminder more and more. The commonalities in this show more wonderful book - food, food traditions, and hospitality.
