Around the World in 80 Dinners

Description

After years of writing award-winning cookbooks, Cheryl and Bill Jamison were ready to take a break. They packed their bags, locked up their house in Santa Fe, and set off on a three-month-long visit to ten countries-all on frequent-flier miles.

Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison are considered the most respected authorities on American regional home cooking. Their previous cookbooks have sold more than half a million copies. Awardwinning authors of fourteen cookbooks and travel guides, the Jamisons write with passion and wit about topics as varied as American home cooking, barbecue, the food and culture of the Southwest, and tropical beach travel. The Jamisons are recipients of the culinary field's most prestigious honors, with James Beard Awards for Smoke & Spice and The Border Cookbook, which also received a Julia Child/lACP Award nomination. Their most recent cookbook, American Home Cooking, took both major prizes in 2000, earning a James Beard Award and the IACP Crystal Whisk Award. They live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
