Taste of place
El sabor de cada lugar
Detrás de cada plato hay la historia y las costumbres de una ciudad: por qué el sushi era la comida rápida de Edo, en qué casa antigua empezó el pato laqueado de Pekín, si la historia de la pizza Margarita es verdad o leyenda. 47 platos emblemáticos con su origen, cómo comerlos y las normas locales, y además «qué comer cerca» de 249 lugares y fiestas: imprescindibles, dónde comer, normas en la mesa y precio orientativo.
