If you read a travel book review from someone called Travelling Book Junkie, you’re likely to read it, right? That’s what I thought, so I asked Tamason Gamble, the owner of the site and said book junkie, if she’d like to read Rare Steak, Red Wine, Hot Tango! She did, and I’m delighted to say she loved it.
“Would I recommend this book? If you are even vaguely interested in Argentina pick a copy up. It is a quick read at just 116 pages but it will give you a sense of the country. It provides you with an insight into what it is like to have both a short holiday and a longer trip to this wonderful part of the world.” — Travelling Book Junkie
Check out what she had to say about my book on her blog here: http://bit.ly/2DhIDHv This is not a quick one-paragraph review, but a well thought out description of a book she has obviously read carefully. I’m honoured that she did.
While you’re there, have a look round the rest of the site, which has lots of travel stories from Tam and her husband Paul, as well as great photos — oh yes, and reviews of other books!
Tam is yet another of my readers who says she had never thought of coming to Argentina until she read my book — a message I’m seriously trying to get across to the Argentine tourist people!
Hi Helen, thanks for highlighting this book to me. I honestly would never have considered visiting Argentina and whilst I will be honest and say I am concerned about whether there is enough vegetarian food available as yet, it is most definitely on our list of places to visit. As you can see from our travel blog, South America is a part of the world we have yet to explore, but I guarantee that when we do I think Buenos Aires may well be our first stop.
I’ll do some asking around re the vegetarian food, Tamason. Of course the beef is a star attraction here, but it would be a pity to miss out on Argentina just because you don’t eat it. I’ll let you know what I find out.
