Last weekend at the bookshop we had a visit from Robert Carmack, the "Globetrotting Gourmet" and author of several books, including Thai Home Cooking and Vietnamese Home Cooking. Robert just returned from leading a food tour to Myanmar. In fact, I was there around time that he and his group were touring the country, but we managed to cross paths only in Yangon - and that only consisted of a phone conversation. Robert was in Bangkok for a few days to enjoy the food (of course!) and some Thai kickboxing (but only as an observer!) before flying back to his adopted home of Australia. He will lead another Asian food tour in June, this time to Japan. For more details on that trip and other "tasty bits" check out his website: www.asianfoodtours.com and www.globetrottinggourmet.com
