About the Author:

Elizabeth Canning Blackwell began life on the East Coast, but 4 years at Northwestern University transformed her into a Midwesterner. She has worked as a writer and editor at Encyclopaedia Britannica , Northwestern University Medical School, the Chicago Tribune , and North Shore , a lifestyle magazine for the Chicago suburbs. She also has written for national magazines on everything from planning the perfect wedding to fighting a duel. She lives just outside the city with her husband, daughter, and an extensive collection of long underwear. A Chicago–area native and the son of a Trans World Airlines employee, Michael Austin caught the travel bug at a profoundly young age (around 9, he guesses). Today he is a freelance writer specializing in food, wine, and, naturally, travel. His stories and personal essays have appeared in Esquire , GQ , Outside , and the Chicago Tribune Magazine . Most recently he collaborated with Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef, Art Smith, on Back to the Family , a cookbook featuring reflections on sharing meals with loved ones. A James Beard Award finalist for feature writing, Michael lives in his favorite city, Chicago.
