{"product_id":"1549316","title":"Antarctica on a Plate - Misadventures of a Polar Chef by Alexa Thomson","description":"She came. She saw. She burnt the toast. A young woman with a stellar city career but an increasing dissatisfaction with life, Alexa applies for the position of cook with a private company which organises Antarctic operations. Armed with an old cookbook, she attempts to create three-course meals with no electricity or running water and struggles to defrost meat in the coldest place on Earth. Life in a thin nylon tent in the company of scientists, explorers and eccentrics soon begins to take on extraordinary dimensions. As 75-mile-an-hour winds blow and tensions rise, friendships - and love - are forged in this frozen neighbourhood. Alexa Thomson has been a web designer for an investment bank and a writer for Salon, she divides her time between Sydney and San Francisco.
