Through its 232 pages, the book introduces readers to the unique flavours, ingredients and customs of each Anantara destination, from Thailand, Anantara’s country of origin, to the landlocked plains of Zambia. Insights from renowned author Joe Cummings paint an authentic picture of the food culture in each destination, while 33 recipes by Anantara chefs allow readers to recreate the flavours of Anantara at home. Photographer Christopher Wise is in charge of translating each local culinary culture into visual language.

I am delighted to share the culinary legacy of Anantara in the hope of immersing the readers in the heritage and traditions of some of the key destinations of the world.”
