For his BBC television series “Cooking in the Danger Zone”, award-winning food writer Stefan Gates has travelled the world to investigate how people cook, eat and survive in extreme conditions.

He drank radioactive wine with babushkas in Chernobyl, ate fat-tailed sheep with Taliban warlords in Afghanistan, yak’s penis with Chinese Communists, civet cat with the Karen rebels deep in the Burmese jungle and rotting walrus with the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic.

In this marvellous book Stefan takes us on an extraordinary personal journey as he tries to understand a world in crisis, and meets people caught up in war, poverty and environmental disasters. This behind-the-scenes account is hugely entertaining and thought-provoking, blending war and food, ethics and emotions, comedy and tragedy.
