Brooklyn

I am the author of four books about food: Pie Every Day was sited by Atlantic Monthly, Bon Appetit, and Amazon.com, as among the top ten cookbooks of 1997; A Soothing Broth (1999), about old recipes to feed the sick; and Secrets of Saffron, nominated as "Best Literary Cookbook in 2002" by the International Association of Culinary Professionals. My latest book, based on material written in the 1930s by the WPA, is America Eats!,On the Road with the WPA: The Fish Fries, Box Supper Socials, and Chittlin' Feasts that Define Real American Food.

New stuff is stewing, including The Foreigner, a history and memoir about my aunt who served in the Foreign Service in post-war Germany, the Middle East, and the Far East from 1950-1981.

I also teach. It keeps me off the streets....
