While Lonely Planet has published titles on food in the past, such as The Food Book, The Food Lover's Guide to the World, this fall, the company will be stepping into new culinary territory with the launch of From the Source, a cookbook series that explores dishes and traveling by locale.
The first titles in the series, From the Source: Italy and From the Source: Thailand, go on sale September 1.
For each of the new titles, the publisher sent a food photographers and writers around each country for nine months. Lonely Planet asked local food experts, including chefs, for tips in order to discover “hidden gems,” said Barton, and the publisher strived to incorporate dishes that reflected the regions in which they're found.
