Yazar: Peter Stokes

Peter Stokes was born in London, England and spent many years travelling the Globe while working within the Cabin Services Division of British Airways. This proved to be a wonderful opportunity for Peter to follow his passion for food, people and travel. He was continually fascinated by the many different countries and cultures visited and he vowed always to eat the food of the country he was in. That meant no hamburgers in Tokyo and no sushi in Nairobi * a rule he keeps to this day! It was during these travels and dining in so many different restaurants, cafes, even shacks on the beach that the “How”s Everything?” bug was born and gradually evolved to the creation of this book. On leaving the airline, Peter immigrated to Canada and settled in Vancouver, BC on the Pacific West coast. There followed many years of work, spent mainly in retail and other service industries, where Peter focused on the varied aspects of customer service, within management, as an independent consultant and a frequent lecturer. This work allowed him to continue his travels and people-meeting passion throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. Peter now lives in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island where, with his wife, Lynnette, he owns and manages the Timberland Pub and Restaurant. (www.timberlandpub.com).
