FOOD ON THE MOVE : DINING ON THE LEGENDARY RAILWAY JOURNEYS OF THE WORLD
Edited by Sharon Hudgins

For the past 150 years many different railways all over the world have had dining cars (some still do today) that people have partaken all of their meals in. During long railway journeys, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are prepared and cooked in a small kitchen, and then served in a narrow dining room. The food can range from the most basic to gourmet fare. There are several choices for each course, which are displayed on menus. For people who can afford to travel this way and be indulged, it is a most satisfying trip.
Food on the Move takes us along on nine legendary railway journeys traveling across five continents. The authors who wrote these accounts are all rail fans and have quite different and interesting backgrounds. They write about the train's history, the description of the cars (the dining cars are the most elaborate), the excursions, and what food was cooked then and the present day.
The book includes beautiful illustrations of the dining cars, and some menus, along with black and white, plus color photographs. Recipes of some of the food that was prepared are within each chapter, so if you are inclined you can make them yourself. Just reading about all the many kinds of cuisine that one could eat makes you salivate.
If you consider yourself a foodie, you will definitely enjoy the ride.
Highly recommended.
