A TRAVELING FEAST













I rediscovered the charming neighborhood of Noe Valley during my book signing at Omnivore Books on Food. Samantha served as hostess for the event which drew some old friends, including the parents of some old friends. Merrill Conn wrote me after reading Siren's Feast and said he couldn't eat dinner or watch TV until he had finished the book. He's 86. His email was worth the whole trip. I also had a chance to wander the neighborhood and discovered Lovejoy's Tearoom which absolutely charmed me as a lover of high tea. The petit fours were scrumptious.
