For those who love to cook almost as much as they love to travel, here are a few cookbooks to spark your inspiration and ignite your wanderlust.

 

 

Vegetarian India: A Journey Through the Best of Indian Home Cooking is not only written by a seven-time James Beard Award-winner, but also created from real travel experiences. Madhur Jaffrey wrote the 200-recipe cookbook after a trip around India to discover the vegetarian lifestyle adopted by more than 300 million Indians. The recipes stem from interactions she had with everyday people, from farmers to professionals.

 

 

After a decades-long love for traveling to Scandinavia, Darra Goldstein penned Fire + Ice: Classic Nordic Cooking. The recipes are all classic home-cooking favorites, focusing on seasonal cuisine in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

 

 

Written by a former Saveur editor, The Food of Oman: Recipes and Stories from the Gateway to Arabia is a celebration of the culinary mishmash found in the country, which mixes together Bedouin lifestyles and the influences of traders who passed through the area long ago. The author, Felicia Campbell, says that even after years of studying Middle Eastern cuisine, Oman was a completely unique experience.

 

 

Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey Through Southeast Asia is written by a husband-wife team who has traveled Asia for more than two decades. The book is almost half-travelogue, half-cookbook and even dives into some culinary experiences out of reach for the average reader, such as drying fresh-caught fish and harvesting rice.

 

 

Another husband-wife team, Lucy and Greg Malouf, offer up their food and travel experiences in Turkey in Turquoise. Lucy writes and eats while Greg, as the chef, develops the recipes. Turquoise is only one of many books the couple churned out regarding travel and cuisine in the Middle East and Anatolian Peninsula.
