Samo eno stvar imam bolj rad, kot da poskušam novo hrano - in to preizkušam novo hrano na novih krajih.
Ko pa se ne morem prepustiti strasti do potovanja, pograbim knjigo in se prepustim počitnicam v fotelju. Življenje naključno prek avtorjev, ki pišejo o svojih izkušnjah med življenjem ali obiskom mesta, se počutijo, kot da sem del njihovega potovanja, učenja (in prehranjevanja) tik ob njih.
Če ste popotnik iz naslanjača ali gostitelj hrane ali obojega, je tu nekaj knjig, ki vas bosta pognali v eksotične kraje in si zalivali usta.
Beginning with her first food-writing job at The San Francisco Chronicle, Severson takes readers on a journey through the Northern California food scene. Whether she's talking about meeting restaurant legend Alice Waters of Chez Panisse fame or her love affair with the Meyer lemon, she gives us a great sense of the California food culture.
Severson later moves to New York City to write for The New York Times, where she endures a coastal culture shock and laments the lack of seasonal, fresh produce. When she finally finds her rhythm in New York and writes about its joys (trips to Union Square's Greenmarket!), you feel like you're discovering them along with her.
