Are you a foodie globetrotter – even if it's just from the comfort of your armchair – who loves to learn about unusual, exciting and exotic cuisine from all over the world? This coffee table book might be just the thing for you.   

Where Chefs Eat is a comprehensive worldwide restaurant guide compiled from recommendations by more than 400 of the world's best chefs, from Heston Blumenthal to René Redzepi and our very own Luke Dale-Roberts, Peter Tempelhoff and Scot Kirton.

The guide reveals both the popular eateries and little-known holes in the wall that chefs head to for a great cheap meal, the ultimate breakfast, culinary inspiration and much more. It includes everything from addresses, telephone numbers, maps and reviews to quotes from the chefs themselves. The restaurant reviews, written by food writer Joe Warwick, aims to appeal to all chef-conscious restaurant-goers and food-lovers worldwide.

Where Chefs Eat is available as an iPhone and iPad application, and is also for sale online at Kalahari.
