ThTHE
TRAVELING GOURMET...
Icon Collector's Edition
The Traveling Gourmet, Icon Collector's
Edition is a series of seven, 10 1/4" wide x 14 1/4" tall
coffee table books, aiming to share excerpts of the world's many culinary
delights from our exciting television show, The Traveling
Gourmet© but with the added touch of major movie stars from the famed
classic Icon era.
The Traveling Gourmet Tours Through
Europe, Book I is the first in our ICON
Collectors' Edition series. Along with our television show, we meet
famous chefs in many famous kitchens, both historically and geographically, and
make stops along the way to sample food and wine in local bistros and cafes
beside some obscure back road. Or somewhere in some hilly countryside on our
way toward a famous city, we'll pull excerpts from places where possibly Bogie
would have once dined with Bacall; or maybe Gable and Lombard had planned to
picnic before the war; or where Hemingway may have created at least one of his
brilliant tales.
Highlighting specific recipes and their easy-to-prepare
methods, every chapter is introduced with glittering star studded Icons along
with maps on how to 'get there'... and each page is graced with picturesque
landscapes, orchards, vineyards where everyday people proudly share their family
recipes and stories of their favorite visiting Icon. And note, every book that
follows on will uniquely retain this same amazing flow of intriguing information
- á la extraordinairé. |

In addition to
sharing Icon's and local people's priceless recipes, our master
chefs have also been instrumental in selecting their own delicious and
easy, fast-to-prepare, dishes from each of their fascinating European nations.
It is here we want you to experience the ambience of open air markets with their
local herbs and spices... to bask in the farmer's pride of having grown their
own fresh produce; and to share with you some of the magical dining within
Europe's ancient castles. Our legendary attractions also include dining amongst
beautiful landscapes... to meanderaround the great architectural works of Rome
where Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck filmed "Roman Holiday"... the famous ruins
of Greece as shown by Anthony Quinn as the famed, "Zorba...", and where Steve
McQueen raced his motorcycle across German terrain in "The Great Escape." The
colorful countryside of Great Britain is also styled beautifully in Book
I; magnificent cities are characterized by contrasts in medieval and
modern styles where many amazing Icon movies have been filmed over time. From
the summer estates of Costa del Sol region in Spain, all the way to Provence,
France, centuries old recipes are given the opportunity to survive and be
experienced like they've never been experienced before. |
