In The Danger Zone In The Danger Zone, ISBN 9781846072642 and books by Stefan Gates on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz In the acclaimed series, Cooking in the Danger Zone, award–winning food writer Stefan Gates eats fat–tailed sheep with Taliban warlords in Afghanistan, yak penis with Communist officials in China and UN subsistance rations with refugees in Uganda. The result is a ground–breaking and sometimes shocking television series that uses food to understand a world in crisis. Behind the scenes as each trip unfolds, Stefan struggles to avoid making a grotesque parody of a reality TV cookery show, keeping a diary of his experiences and the emotional rollercoaster that he finds himself on as he goes. His account is a mixture of comedy and tragedy – a travelogue that blends culture, food and politics, and ultimately a journey into some sort of enlightenment in the midst of chaos and ambiguity. About the AuthorStefan Gates is a writer and broadcaster. In 2004, as a presenter and writer of the BBC2 series Full on Food, Stefan introduced the nation to the wilder side of gastronomy. His book Gastronaut, published the following year, won the Gormand World Cookbook Award for best Food Literature Book, as well as being shortlisted for the Guild of Food Writers Award. Hes worked as a TV director, scriptwriter and comedy producer, but his strangest job was appearing naked on the cover of Led Zeppelins Houses of the Holy at the age of four.
