Buen Camino and Bon Appétit is filled with author Eddie Peyers affectionate stories about the people he met along the two major journeys of his life--a 40-year career as a chef in some of the best hotels on two continents and his pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in France and Spain after he retired. His memoir contrasts the extreme pressure of life as a world-class chef in luxury hotels with the simplicity of walking the Camino, eating plain meals each night, and sleeping in hostels. He blends these two journeys in the final section of the book, a selection of the recipes that most vividly recalls both journeys.
