Food Guide: A Gourmet's Journey Alone

Qiao Chu became financially independent at twenty and started living alone. From then on, he wandered the streets and alleys in search of good food, sometimes cooking on a whim, sometimes hopping on a plane to eat whatever he was craving somewhere in the world.

Fresh, exquisite, delicious: sometimes expensive, sometimes affordable.

He didn’t care about the price or the cuisine. He simply indulged in whatever food most stirred his appetite in that moment.

His encounters with good food were always inseparable from the cravings of the moment.

He always ate alone, savoring the pleasures of a meal for one.

A true gourmand always goes alone.

The instant he tasted a dish that satisfied him, he was king of the moment.

This book is a tribute to The Solitary Gourmet, a pure feast of food.
