Just came upon your online blog and website (via Modern Miss Darcy) and signed up. In the late 60’s an 70″s, I lived in Paris, France, for 13 years and travelled a lot. I worked at LOOK magazine there and ended up married to a Frenchman (and his family) for 8 of those years. However, returned to the States in 1979, and have been remarried in St. Louis for the last 41 years. But more to the point, two travel books that were my Bibles were : WITHOUT RESERVATIONS (2000) by Alice Steinback (Pulitzer Prize writer award) and EDUCATING ALICE (2004) by Aice Steinback. Don’t miss these two books if you’re interested in experiences abroad and traveling the world. Enjoy!

In reply to Vani. Hi Vani: Yes I have read all of Ruth's books! I did like Garlic and Sapphires, I have not read Girl by Sea, thank you for the recommendation. I only wrote about 15 books, but I could write several more with 15 books each! Books about food and travel are my favorite. If you have other recommendations, I would love to know about them. Thanks again!

Mastering the Art of French Eating is one of my favourite foodie reads too! Have you ever read any of Ruth Reichl’s books? I love Garlic and Sapphires – her memoir of being a food critic for the New York Times and having to disguise herself so that she wouldn’t receive preferential treatment at various restaurants. Girl by Sea by Penelope Green is a wonderful autobiography of an Australian girl who moves to Procida, Italy, for love and includes many delicious Italian recipes.

I realize that I also read a lot of books about food and travel (since I’ve read half of these). Nonetheless, I added 8 books to my TBR. What a fun idea / project! And, it is always fun to see Modern Mrs. Darcy bookclub mentioned. I am a member, too. Good for you for doing a blog, I just subscribed.
