Hello my dear readers!
I haven’t forgotten you – it’s just that life has been rushing past at a furious pace lately. Frankly, I’ve been swamped with client projects and Eat Drink Blog 3 conference organisation. I’m going to be posting some new material later this week but in the meantime, I have a fantastic giveaway for you.
Now if you’re reading this blog chances are you love food as much as I do. So you probably enjoy learning about people who make their living by working with food. What really inspires you, though, is when you come across those true foodies, those people who always searching for that elusive perfect meal but accept that it’s the journey that is important, not the destination.
Many years ago, I bought a book randomly at an airport — Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain — and devoured it in one flight. True passion can never be faked – and here was a man who lived, breathed and ate food with such conviction.
It’s partly Anthony’s influence that set me off this path of food blogging some 16 months ago, a journey that has created opportunities that I never would have imagined and paved the way to friendships with food lovers from all over the globe.
So when I was approached to do a giveaway of Anthony’s debut graphic novel, Get Jiro, along with Jiro Dreams of Sushi, a DVD documentary I’d been dying to see, I could only marvel again at the lovely surprises that arrive in my inbox.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a documentary about the ultimate sushi chef, Jiro Ono, the ancient owner and head chef of Sukiyabashi Jiro, an underground Tokyo eatery which seats only ten people and has three Michelin stars.
Director David Gelb (A Vision of Blindness) has created an acclaimed documentary that charts the relentless pursuit of perfection by a master chef and the gifted son who waits to take over. It’s the kind of documentary I would watch over and over again, grateful for the chance to observe such skill up close.
Differently, Anthony’s novel, Get Jiro,is a satirical commentary on Western food culture set in a futuristic Los Angeles.
Put these two Jiro-named things together and you have a prize pack that is sure to please the fussiest of food lovers.
So what are you waiting for? Enter the competition below and you could win one of three Jiro packs.
Good luck!
