Listen, and understand, Stefan is out there. He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And absolutlely will not stop, ever, until... he's eaten it all.
In short, Stefan Gates is The Terminator of the foodie world - albeit wrapped up in a little, smiley, cheerful package. Don't let him fool you, he ISN'T human, he can't eat what he eats and live
This is pretty much my take on Gastronaut, a real "must read" for anyone who likes their food.
Gastronaut is part recipe book, part science text, part History & Travel guide - and totally good fun. Stefan travels in time and the globe to offer up some strange and even extreme foodie offerings. From make your own margarine, through notes on breast milk, to eating insects - If you want to hear how to stage a Bacchanalian orgy or a Brief History of Washing up, you will not be disappointed, its all here, in one place.
I loved this book, start to finish and can't wait for Gastronaut 2 - he'll be back!
