Having a deep love for the city of New Orleans, I could not return until I was sure its recovery from the storms and my own were far enough along that my trip would not be a daily trail of tears.
To my delight, I had the great luck to find Sara Roahen was doing a reading/book signing at the Garden District Bookstore. It was such a treat to hear her speak about her adopted home, her falling in love with the city, being seduced by the "food culcha".
The book is a series of stories framed around food, food histories, myths and epiphanies. Most all of life and social intercourse in New Orleans is only a fork's distance from food, it seems to me, so this works well.
The book is at turns laugh-out-loud funny and drippy tears poignantly sad. It reinforces the importance of food and the significance of a shared meal. Just don't try to read it on empty stomach!
